Lampranthus EXPLOSION® ‘Pink’

Common Name:
Pink Ice Plant (EXPLOSION® Series)

Description:
Lampranthus EXPLOSION® ‘Pink’ is a bold, sun-loving ground cover that bursts into flower with an intense display of bright pink daisy-like blooms. Part of the high-performance EXPLOSION® series, this cultivar is bred for its eye-catching colour, extended flowering season, and dense mat-forming growth. Its fine, succulent foliage remains neat and low to the ground, creating a silvery-green carpet that acts as a weed suppressant and erosion controller, especially on banks or exposed sunny areas. In Melbourne gardens, ‘Pink’ thrives in full sun and sharply drained soils, making it ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, retaining walls, and dry landscapes. Flowering profusely from late spring into summer, it draws in pollinators while demanding very little upkeep. This variety is perfect for gardeners seeking high-impact colour with minimal water requirements or maintenance. Occasional trimming after flowering will keep its form compact and tidy.
