Carpobrotus Rossii (Yellow Pigface) is a hardy, mat-forming succulent groundcover with fleshy green leaves and striking daisy-like yellow flowers. Flowering occurs mainly in spring and summer (September to February), when the bright blooms create a bold contrast against its dense, trailing foliage.
This tough Australian native thrives in sandy soils and coastal conditions, making it perfect for dunes, embankments, and rockeries. Its ability to tolerate drought and salt spray, combined with its fast growth and erosion control, makes it a reliable choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
