Description

Perennials for rockeries, flowering walls or pavements where they often form large carpets covered with flowers in spring.

Very astonishing variety. Crisped, dark green, leathery and shiny leaves, as if stacked on top of each other, in reclining or erect columns, bearing a pretty dark reddish-purple flowering at their ends.
