Disphyma crassifolium
Round-leaved Pigface
Description
Disphyma crassifolium, commonly known as the Rounded Noon-Flower, is a succulent ground cover native to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. It's characterized by its fleshy, rounded, grayish-green leaves. This plant produces vibrant, daisy-like flowers that are typically pink or purple and bloom abundantly throughout the summer months. It is well-adapted to coastal environments and tolerates salt spray and drought. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. This plant is a great choice for ground cover in coastal gardens or rock gardens. It is relatively low maintenance and can be easily propagated by cuttings. Prune lightly after flowering to promote a bushier growth habit and encourage more blooms.
