Description

This attractive perennial has thick, leathery, fleshy, gray green leaves with scalloped edges. Margins turn red with more sun exposure. Clusters of red, yellow or pink flowers rise above foliage on stalks in winter. This plant grows 1.5' tall and wide. It tolerates full to part sun but can also be a houseplant. It needs sandy, well draining soil. Fertilize only once a year. Protect from wind and frost. Water only when soil is dry.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
