Moss rose is a semi-succulent plant that stores water in its fleshy leaves and stems. The bright green leaves are oblong to cylindrical with pointed tips. They are up to an inch long and are arranged alternately or in small clusters along the reddish, multi-branched prostrate to slightly ascending stems. Moss Rose works perfectly for hanging baskets but also serves as wonderful ground cover since it never goes out of its bounds. Since it flourishes in poor soil, it would work well in a rock garden or stacked rock wall where it will delicately cascade down, they produce seeds that will germinate and sprout the following year.
Flowers of warm colors, including pink, peach, yellow, orange, red, fuchsia, magenta, lavender and purple.
