With extremely fleshy leaves shaped like small sabers, it forms dense, very low-growing ground covers capable of dominating its surroundings. It produces enormous purple flowers that stand out against the plant''s intense green background. It is highly adapted to rocky or sandy areas, especially coastal habitats, where it thrives remarkably well, often excluding other species. It has a high invasive potential in ecosystems outside its native range.
