Disphyma australe (NZ Ice Plant)
Disphyma australe, commonly known as the NZ Native Ice Plant, is a fast-growing groundcover that is found naturally along coast lines. Plants carry thick and succulent leaves which enable it to survive extended periods of dry. It features pale pink and white flowers in summer that open and close with the sun. This succulent typically grows to 20 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Disphyma australe is commonly used as a groundcover where it can grow over rocks or planted to spill over the edge of retaining walls. It is often included in coastal plantings to help retain sand.
