Mix Sunrose Seeds - Flower Plant

Mix Sunrose Seeds produce a blend of low-growing flowering plants commonly known as Sun Rose. These compact plants form spreading mats of succulent foliage with bright, rose-like blooms in mixed colors throughout the warm season. Sun Rose is well adapted to hot, dry climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. It is suitable for rock gardens, borders, slopes, containers, and groundcover plantings. Once established, the plants tolerate dry conditions and require minimal maintenance in warm and temperate regions.
