Lampranthus roseus
succulent
Description
Lampranthus roseus, commonly known as the trailing ice plant, is a succulent flowering plant native to South Africa. This vibrant plant is celebrated for its profuse, daisy-like flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, and purple, attracting pollinators with their bright hues. The succulent leaves are fleshy and water-storing, allowing the plant to thrive in arid conditions. Lampranthus roseus is a low-growing, mat-forming plant, making it ideal for ground cover or cascading over walls and rockeries. It requires well-draining soil and full sun exposure to flourish and produce its stunning floral display. Pruning is beneficial to maintain a compact shape and encourage more blooms. Propagating is easy by taking cuttings from the stems, which root quickly. This plant is an easy to grow, resilient species.
