Dense clusters of blood-red flowers contrast dramatically against deep-purple, almost black foliage, making a big statement in the garden. A shorter, sturdier form than other varieties. Ideal for a waterwise border, rock garden, or container. Succulent foliage will die back to the ground in cold winter regions, but will re-emerge in early spring.
