Mesembryanthemum Crimson is a vibrant, low-growing evergreen succulent that produces masses of brilliant crimson daisy-like flowers throughout the warmer months. Its colourful blooms contrast beautifully against the fleshy green foliage, creating a striking carpet of colour in sunny gardens.
Commonly known as Ice Plant, its leaves and stems are covered with tiny water-filled cells that sparkle in the sunlight, giving the plant a frosted appearance. Highly drought tolerant and fast spreading, Crimson Ice Plant is perfect for rockeries, retaining walls, borders, coastal gardens, and water-wise landscapes where it provides long-lasting colour with minimal care.
