An attractive succulent with creeping stems that hold upright, succulent, triangular, green leaves and showy daisy-type, yellowish flowers. Carpobrotus edulis is a pioneer plant native to South Africa.
It tolerates coastal and saline conditions and strong winds and will resist moderate freezes. Ideal for warm-temperate climates in USDA Zones 9 and 10, it makes a superb and robust ground cover even on sand and rocks.
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
