Aptenia cordifolia is a fast-growing, evergreen, succulent perennial groundcover featuring magenta, daisy-like flowers that bloom spring through summer. Excellent for erosion control, weed suppression. Use as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, cascading over walls, in rock gardens, as a bank cover. Thrives in coastal areas; tolerates high salt spray. Best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. It grows best in sandy or loamy soil, but needs good drainage. Moderate water needs but drought-tolerant when established. Rabbit and deer-resistant.
