Lampranthus aureus - Orange Form
LOW MAINTENANCE, NO MAINTENANCE - your choice! Drought tolerant and deer resistant, here's your ticket for eye-popping color in your dry garden. This rarely seen, non-invasive "Ice Plant" blankets itself with good sized 2.5" incandescent orange, rayed flowers for several months in Spring and somewhat lesser bloom thru Summer (with occasional water). we like the dense 1' x 2' mound of slender deep green succulent foliage. Tolerant of neglect, but you can make it a superstar in well-drained soil and an annual 1" side-dress of compost. Cut back to 3" after a year or so to keep it fresh and compact. Butterflies! Fire resistant.
