Not many plants can compete with the showiness of calandrinia. A succulent requiring little water and little care (other than well drained soil), calandrinia will delight with its mounding grey-green form and neon purple flowers. It has a mounding habit, but can become open in the center due to the weight of the stems. I find a little support goes a long way, such as the wire fence these above are using at Flora Grubb in San Francisco. I have even seen them planted in median strips along a busy boulevard, so you know it's a tough plant! A very unusual addition to one's garden.
