Ruschia dichroa

Got a tough, dry spot that needs a mass of cheery purple-pink flowers in early- Spring? Ruschia dichroa’s your super easy, totally drought tolerant, groundcover solution. Staying a cute 8-12” high, it’s a spreader. Pretty blue green foliage forms a weed suppressing mat that looks great year round. Mix it up with equally tough Calandrinia spectabilis, Crassula corymbulosa, Delosperma nubigenum & Oscularia caulescens for a low maintenance crazy quilt of succulent goodness. Great lawn alternative!
