Named for the explosive colour these compact succulent plants throw out when flowering begins during spring.
Flower production is so heavy that at times the foliage is hidden from view.
Small but powerful additions to fill garden borders and edges, containers and also perfect for coastal regions. Heat and dry tolerant.
Often called by the common name of Iceplants, Lampranthus are popular in landscapes due to their hardiness and dynamic flower displays. They typically form a type of low growing, creeping sub shrub or mound and when mass planted can form a very decorative and effective ground cover. Featuring a neat, dense foliage habit that adds interest, texture and form when not in flower.
