Carpobrotus Edulis Seeds 20 pcs Edible Ice Plant Pink Flowers Ornamental Ground Cover Plant for Rockeries and Containers
Carpobrotus edulis, the edible ice plant, is one of the most attractive ground-cover succulents originating from South Africa, where it naturally grows in the coastal areas of the Cape and has now spread to many Mediterranean regions around the world. The pack contains 20 quality seeds suitable for home sowing as well as for enthusiastic hobby growers who wish to enrich their collection of exotic plants or try cultivating an unusual succulent. This extraordinarily versatile succulent perennial creates dense carpets of fleshy, triangular leaves and during the flowering period, it adorns itself with striking pink flowers with a yellow centre, resembling daisies in shape. The plant is popular for its low maintenance, excellent drought resistance, and ability to stabilise slopes or areas with poor soil.

Contents of the pack:
20 pcs of Carpobrotus edulis seeds
Sowing is best done in spring into a light substrate mixed with sand or perlite, lightly pressing the seeds onto the surface and keeping them slightly moist without overwatering. Young seedlings should be pricked out into smaller containers once they have formed their first pair of true leaves and gradually acclimatised before planting outside. The plant is primarily grown in our climate as a portable annual that can be kept indoors in a bright, cool room at temperatures around 5 to 10 °C with minimal watering during winter. Carpobrotus edulis appreciates full sun exposure throughout the day, well-drained soil without stagnant water, and occasional feeding with a weak solution of fertiliser for succulents during the growing season. Due to its decorative nature, long flowering period, and extraordinary low maintenance, it becomes a popular choice for container compositions, dry floral walls, ornamental borders for terraces, as well as a stabilising plant on eroded slopes and sandy areas.
