Baby Sun Rose

Aptenia cordifolia

أبتينيا

A fast, fleshy-leaved trailing succulent covered in small magenta-pink flowers through the warm months. Covers difficult dry ground quickly and spills attractively from raised beds and walls.

Blooming season: Spring to autumn
Flower colour: Magenta-pink
How to care: Full sun in sharply drained soil. Extremely drought tolerant and happiest with minimal water; it rots quickly in wet or heavy ground. Trim back whenever it outgrows its position, and it roots readily from cuttings simply pushed into the soil. Frost damages the fleshy growth but plants usually recover from the base. Avoid rich feeding.
