Aptenia cordifolia, commonly known as heartleaf ice plant or baby sun rose, is a low-growing, succulent ground cover plant native to South Africa. It is characterized by its trailing stems, small heart-shaped leaves, and vibrant, daisy-like flowers. The leaves are fleshy and glossy green, while the flowers can range in colour from shades of pink to purple. Aptenia cordifolia is a resilient and drought-tolerant plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is commonly used as a ground cover in gardens, rockeries, and containers, providing a splash of color and spreading to create a dense mat of foliage. This plant is regarded as an environmental weed in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia. Grows to approx. 10-15cm H x 60cm W.
