Calandrinia grandiflora (C. spectabilis)(Cistanthe g.) is a shrubby, mounding, evergreen succulent with bluish-grey-green foliage. Brilliant magenta-colored, cup-shaped flowers supported by tall slender stems appear to be floating above the foliage. Bees love the hot-pink flowers. Each flower only lasts one day, but the plant blooms profusely spring through fall. Pink Rock Purslane is stunning in the garden when planted in mass and is great in rock gardens, parking strips, borders, or containers.
How tall and wide does Pink Rock Purslane grow?
It grows 8–12 inches tall and 2–3 feet wide, forming a spreading mat of foliage topped with bright, showy flowers.
When does Pink Rock Purslane bloom?
It blooms from spring through fall—often longer in warm climates—with vivid magenta flowers that open in the sun and close at night.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
Pink Rock Purslane thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It performs beautifully in rock gardens, containers, or dry slopes.
How much water does it need?
Water moderately during establishment, then sparingly. Once mature, it’s highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings.
