THE saying that everything old is new again could not be truer when referring to the colourful flowering ground cover called Pigface. This plant is widely regarded as having one of the most spectacular displays of bright flowers in the succulent world.Over the years gardeners have found Lampranthus relatively easy to grow in a sunny well-drained position. While these plants are frost tender many gardeners have successfully grown Lampranthus in a frosty areas if they are planted in a sheltered position. After the last few dry years many gardeners have started to look for plants that can withstand periods of drought. And Lampranthus is one of a few species that will withstand drought very well and do not require a lot of maintenance.
The vibrant flowers of the Lampranthus are in various colour shades of orange, pink, red, white, yellow as well some bicoloured varieties.
I am very glad that I learned a lot of interesting and new things about this plant. thank
