Drosanthemum floribundum 'Floribunda Purple': Rosea Ice Plant – Masses of Purple Daisy Flowers

Drosanthemum floribundum 'Floribunda Purple' – Floribunda Purple Rosea Ice Plant

Drosanthemum floribundum 'Floribunda Purple' (syn. Mesembryanthemum floribundum) is a spectacular, succulent ice plant from South Africa. It forms a low, spreading mat of cylindrical, gray-green, water-storing leaves. In spring, it explodes with a solid sheet of brilliant purple-pink, daisy-like flowers that completely cover the foliage. The flowers open in sun, close at night.

'Floribunda Purple' demands full sun and extremely sharp drainage. It thrives in poor, sandy, rocky soil and is intensely drought-tolerant. It is perfect for rock gardens, dry walls, slopes, and coastal plantings. The floral display is one of the most intense in the succulent world. A show-stopping, low-water plant for hot, sunny, well-drained sites.
