Calandrinia grandiflora is a stunning and unusual succulent that features fleshy, narrowly oval, and pointed blue-green leaves about 4-6′ long. From spring into fall, it produces a beautiful display of brilliant magenta flowers along tall, slender stems that can rise up to 24″ above the evergreen foliage. This succulent looks great when planted in mass. It is also a great addition to rock gardens as it can tolerate little water and very dry conditions. We love this very popular, showy, and easy-care plant.
