Lampranthus stipulaceus

 

Tough, drought tolerant & groundcovering, with vibrant flowers! Though this robust plant is new to cultivation, we might have guessed at its winning combo of usefulness & prettiness. Its cousins are a winning bunch. Growing 2’ plus wide & 8”-1’ tall, it becomes slightly shrubby with age & forms a dense, weed suppressing mat of foliage with time. Blooms seem to come throughout the year. Leaves are finger-like & a pleasing grey-green.
