Mesembryanthemum spp. Violet (Violet Pig Face)

Mesembryanthemum Violet, commonly known as Violet Pig Face, is a fast-growing, evergreen succulent groundcover that produces masses of vibrant violet-purple daisy-like flowers from spring through summer. The cheerful blooms open during the day and close at night, creating a spectacular carpet of colour over its fleshy green foliage.

Ideal for rockeries, retaining walls, borders, coastal gardens, and sunny slopes, Violet Pig Face thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Its drought tolerance, spreading habit, and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes and large-scale groundcover plantings.
