horokaka

Disphyma australe subsp. australe | horokaka, native ice plant

This charming, low-growing native succulent forms a dense mat of fleshy, bright green leaves. Ideal for dry, sunny spots, it produces vibrant pink to purple daisy-like flowers that open with the sun, from summer through warmer months. Naturally found along coastlines, its drought-tolerant leaves make it perfect for coastal conditions, rock gardens, and xeriscaping. Its spreading habit provides excellent erosion control on slopes and banks, also working well in containers or mixed plantings.
