    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our collection of a particularly large-flowered form from Northeastern Brazil, where it is sometimes inundated with summer pools and can go very dry in winter. These flowers, over 2" across, and of a cheery pink color respond very well to periodic moisture, letting dry between waterings. They will quickly grow to loose clumps of 6" tall gray-green leaves. Bright light, excellent for containers, border fronts, rock gardens, you get the picture. USDA zone 8, 7 with mulch.
