Plant life cycle:

Perennial

Habitat:

Naturally found in coastal areas of Australia, particularly along sandy dunes, rocky headlands, and cliff faces in New South Wales and Queensland.

Leaf information:

Fleshy, succulent leaves with green and a slight blue-grey hue

Preferred Soil:

Prefers well-drained soils, tolerates a range of moisture levels but thrives best in slightly dry to moist conditions

With vibrant, large pink to purple flowers and its fleshy, succulent leaves this beautiful plant will add a unique texture to the garden. Flowers, fruit and leaves are all edible, with the leaves being similar to aloe vera's soothing properties for itches, bites and burns. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant is excellent for coastal gardens and ground cover, providing erosion control and supporting local wildlife. 

Care Considerations:

Low watering needs, very drought-tolerant once established. Apply organic mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Minimal to no fertilisation required, however a light feeding with a balanced, low-phosphorus fertiliser can be applied if needed. Trim back after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
