The Talinum genus contains about 50 species of annuals, biennials, and perennials from dry areas of tropical and subtropical Africa, North America, and Central America. Fameflower’s smooth, often succulent, leaves and its showy, cup- or saucer-shaped flowers make it a nice addition to the rock garden.
