Half-hardy Annual. Good for containers or hanging baskets. Partially prostrate stems on mounded plants bear clusters of small, roselike sing or double flowers in pink, red, yellow, orange, peach, white or cream and sometimes striped that open in the sun and close at night, in shade or on cloudy days. The foliage is needle-like and succulent which aids in drought tolerance. Prefers full sun and sandy or dry, well-drained soil. Self-sows readily. Prone to aphid attack so keep an eye out. 'Sunglo' is the variety pictured.
