3 Unrooted Cuttings Pink Rock Purslane Calandrinia spectabilis Succulent Drought Tolerant Garden

Pink Rock Purslane is a clump-forming succulent perennial grown for its vivid magenta-pink, poppy-like blooms that rise above blue-green foliage on slender stems. Also known as Calandrinia spectabilis, this plant is prized for its long bloom season and its tidy, mounding habit, making it a standout in rock gardens, borders, and containers.
The fleshy, gray-green leaves form a low rosette-like mound, while flowers appear repeatedly from spring through fall in mild climates, opening in bright sun and closing in low light. The blooms work well in mixed succulent plantings, xeriscape beds, and coastal gardens, and the stems can be cut for arrangements. Provide sharp drainage and avoid overly rich, waterlogged soil.
