Mesembryanthemum spp., commonly known as the Red Livingstone Daisy, is a colourful, low-growing evergreen succulent renowned for its brilliant red daisy-like flowers that create a vibrant carpet of colour throughout spring and summer. The striking blooms open in bright sunshine, standing out beautifully against its fleshy green foliage. Its spreading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for rockeries, borders, retaining walls, coastal gardens, and containers, where it provides outstanding visual impact with minimal care.
Exceptionally hardy and drought tolerant once established, Red Livingstone Daisy thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for water-wise and coastal landscapes. Its fast-spreading habit helps suppress weeds while adding year-round texture and seasonal colour. Whether planted as a groundcover or allowed to cascade over walls and pots, this versatile succulent delivers reliable performance and long-lasting beauty.
