Mesembryanthemum Lemon, commonly known as Lemon Pig Face, is a fast-growing, evergreen succulent groundcover that produces masses of cheerful lemon-yellow daisy-like flowers throughout spring and summer. The colourful blooms create a vibrant carpet over its fleshy green foliage, making it an excellent choice for brightening sunny landscapes.
With its trailing growth habit and exceptional drought tolerance, Lemon Pig Face is ideal for rockeries, retaining walls, garden borders, slopes, hanging baskets, and containers. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, providing reliable colour with very little maintenance.
