Description

This low growing, hardy plant features shiny, dark, narrow green leaves that form tufted clumps. Pink flowers appear in clusters on short stalks in mid-spring. Plants will often flower sporadically again in the fall. Foliage typically remains throughout the winter months, turning dark green to purple. This plant tolerates salt and shade, making it an excellent choice for green roofs that receive ocean spray. Native to the Pacific Northwest of North America, it makes a great accent plant on any green roof. Large quantities may require custom growing. Please contact office for lead times.
