Carpobrotus Rossii (Native Pigface) is a hardy Australian native succulent groundcover with fleshy, green to blue-green leaves and attractive pink to purple, daisy-like flowers. Its spreading growth habit creates a lush carpet of foliage, adding colour and texture to coastal gardens, rockeries and sunny garden beds.
Ideal for low-maintenance landscaping, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates exposed coastal conditions. Its spreading stems help cover bare ground and stabilise soil, making it a practical and attractive choice for gardeners looking for a resilient native groundcover.
