Description

The 'Variegatum' is a deciduous, succulent perennial that forms a dense clump of short, scandent stems that are densely packed with rounded, toothed grey blue leaves with creamy margins. In the fall, short spikes of rosy pink, star-like flowers top each stem. Even when it is not in bloom, the plant provides a beautiful foliage effect. It does great in hanging baskets, and should receive sun to part shade with little summer watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Consider replacing some lawn areas with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

Good candidates for removal are portions of large lawns, areas where no one uses the grass, patches that don't grow well, or spaces too small to water without overspray.
