A delicious color combination of rose-tinged succulent, variegated leaves with flower spikes of magenta becoming white. 1-2'. Leaves are especially rosy in winter. This plant, because of its many colors (rose, purple, light yellow, light and dark greens, and bluish tinges), integrates easily with almost anything and jazzes up just about any combination. Especially happy at the coast and a terrific plant for a focal point pot. 2-3' x 2-3' Amenable to pruning.Minimum temperature: 10?F
