Description
A vigorous, evergreen perennial ornamental plant with a characteristic semi-recumbent or ground cover habit that makes it ideal for creating dense, colourful carpet-like ground cover where a multitude of brightly coloured, daisy-like flowers emerge from between the characteristic fleshy cylindrical leaves. It is mainly used to decorate flower beds and rock gardens but also pots and planters. Very hardy, it tolerates hot and dry climates. It requires no special cultivation care.
