Description

Pink Sunrose is a low growing evergreen perennial, used as a ground cover. It reaches 2' high and spreads 3'. It has small gray green, silvery foliage that forms a tight mound of leaves. Pink flowers with gold centers cover the plant in late spring and early summer. Flowers open during the day and close at night. However, the blooms cover the entire plant since they are so profuse! It does best in full sun with well draining soil. Established plants need occasional water only.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
