Pig Face - “Baridamam”

Carpobrotus glaucescens - A low growing ground cover that has thick fleshy smooth foliage that is triangular in shape. The fleshy substance found in the leaves can be used for midges and blue-bottle stings. It produces daisy like flowers during Spring and Summer but also can flower throughout the year. The flowers will close during overcast or wet days. After flowering the plant will produce a red to purple strawberry fig flavoured fruit. It is extremely salt and wind tolerant. Pig Face prefers full sun.
