Open evergreen shrub grows to to 6' x 6'. Has a spreading habit and somewhat pendulous branches. Dark green, somewhat succulent leaves grow to 2" long & 1/4" wide. Tubular, clear pink flowers appear heavily in summer. Accepts full sun to part shade. Needs little or no summer water when established. This is one tough dependable xeric flowering shrub where space is available to let it just grow. Pruning will often destroy its free form appearance.

Frost tolerant to 25 F.
