Native to the Americas, this plant is known for its charming, jewel-toned flowers and glossy, succulent-like foliage. The tiny, star-shaped flowers range in hues from pink to magenta and bloom on tall, slender stems, creating a cloud-like effect that dances in the breeze.

This hardy plant thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Jewels of Opar is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a perfect addition to xeriscapes, rock gardens, or any garden in need of a splash of color with minimal effort.
