Description
Oyster Plant, also called Moses In The Boat.
Oyster plant seems to prefer light shade, but it grows well in bright sun as well as in fairly dim light.
Sturdy 6-12 in long sword-shaped leaves arising from a trunklike stem up to 8 inch tall.
It is drought tolerant and exhibits moderate to high salt tolerance (needing some protection from direct salt spray.)
A relative to the Wandering Jew, the oyster plant displays a clumping form and fleshy leaves that are green above and reddish-purple below.
Use this plant for banks and slopes, shrub border edging, and especially under trees and in other full/ part-shade locations.
It also does well in containers.
Oyster plant can be a colorful addition to the landscape in your yard, filling the role of a low-maintenance, drought tolerant ground cover requiring minimal amounts of water, fertilizer, and pesticides.
This Plant can be grown in doors in any Zone.
House temperature. Outside growing Zones 8-11.
