Fast-growing evergreen succulent to 4-6” tall x 18-24” wide. This popular and hardy variety is prized for its ability to quickly form a dense, weed-discouraging mat of attractive red-edged, bronzy-green to purplish-green foliage that turns a brilliant red in the cool of fall and winter. Adding further appeal are the abundant, butterfly-attracting, showy deep-red flowers that appear atop the attractive foliage in late-summer. Well-suited as a dry-area groundcover, in borders, medians, containers, mixed succulent plantings or rock gardens. Tolerates heat and poor soil provided it’s fast-draining, and requires little water once established. Thrives in a full to partial sun exposure.
USDA Zone: 4A-9B
