Type of plant : Perennial
Carpobrotus - pigface - is a genus in the Aizoaceae family with 12 to 20 accepted specie, mostly endemic to South Africa, but there are at least four Australian species and one South American. They are round-creeping plants with succulent leaves and large daisy-like flowers, easily forming wide-area ground covers over a sandy soil. C. acinaciformis and C. edulis are two species often used for groundcover due to their rapid growth, dense habit, and resistance to fire.
