Drosanthemum marinum
Mesembryanthemum
Description
Drosanthemum marinum is a beautiful succulent, appreciated for its ground-hugging growth habit and abundant flowers. This plant forms dense mats or carpets, with fleshy leaves that are often a vibrant green. The leaves are covered in small, glistening glands, giving them a sparkling appearance, which is how it got the common name. Drosanthemum marinum produces numerous daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, or magenta, which can bloom for a long period. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires full sun. Water sparingly, as it is drought-tolerant. Propagation is usually done through stem cuttings which root easily.
