Calvinia Pink Ice Plant (Ruschia)

Ruschia 'Calvinia Pink' (Ice Plant) lights up the mid-spring xeric garden with a spectacular show of small, intense purple daisy-like flowers. An unusual specimen, the small fleshy leaves grow into a mounding habit, with semi-woody stems stretching outward. Its unusual mass of texture and foliage will garner lots of attention in mid-spring when it bursts into bloom. Attractive to bees, it grows best in a sunny spot and is a top pick for a rock garden or xeriscape.
