A fast-growing, clumping, succulent perennial, perfect for a waterwise garden. Less vigorous and more open than the yellow form. It looks spectacular, especially when planted en masse as a ground cover, or in rock gardens. Fleshy, grassy, bright green foliage and tall stems of orange flowers are produced over a long period throughout the year. The brightly coloured flowers attract many types of bees. Remove the spent flower stalks to promote new flowers. It will self seed very freely, so it can spread into gravel, but is very easily weeded out or it can be redistributed into other areas of the garden. It looks particularly good when planted amongst Aloes or other ground cover.
It is also cultivated for its medicinal properties. The fresh leaf produces a jelly-like juice that is wonderful for burns, rashes, blisters, insect bites, cracked lips, acne, cold sores, mouth ulcers and areas of cracked skin. This plant is ideal to grow and is a useful first-aid remedy for childrens' daily knocks and scrapes.
It will grow in full sun or quite shady areas with very little water.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
