Description:
Tough, native creeping succulent with trailing stems that root at each node along the stem. Triangular shaped, fleshly smooth leaves quickly form a dense groundcover. Pink daisy-like flowers are produced in spring and summer. These then turn to pretty, edible red berry fruit. This attractive groundcover is very salt tolerant and great for binding coastal wind erosion. Ideal for use in gardens with coastal exposure, rockeries and low maintenance landscapes.
