Carpobrotus Aussie Rambler 140MM

Carpobrotus glaucescens 'Aussie Rambler'

I am Carpobrotus Aussie Rambler. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Groundcover - Large showy flowers
Plant family Aizoaceae
I am a prostrate creeping succulent that has long trailing purple stems up to 2m. Commonly called Pigface, I produce large deep pink flowers in spring and autumn. I am great for rockeries, mass plantings, a sand stabiliser or for any low maintenance gardens in inland and coastal conditions. Hardy I have grown well in Canberra with temperatures down to -8 degrees Celsius. I tolerate frost, drought, humidity and salt, however, avoid prolonged wet feet. I prefer a full sun to light shade position and can grow in most soil types, including heavy soils. For best performance, plant me in a well mulched garden. I require little maintenance, however you can give me a prune if required and apply slow release fertiliser in spring.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce extra large pink showy flowers in spring & autumn
I am frost, drought, humidity, & salt tolerant
I am perfect for inland & coastal conditions & to stabilise sand dunes
