Notes
Persian carpet flower (Edithcolea grandis) is a succulent for containers and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, and it blooms in spring and again in summer. Plants spread about 12 to 24 inches.
Pairs well with Whale's tongue agave, Joshua tree, and Texas kidneywood.
