Mesembryanthemum mauve - pigface, ice plant
If you're after a rugged little groundcover that still looks beaut, then pigfaces (or more politely, ice plants) are your dream come true. They can live off very little water, yet don't mind being battered by sea spray. They flower exotically in bright tropical colours. They need almost no care except perhaps an annual tidy up.
Mesembryanthemum ice plants tend to have slightly smaller flowers and more slender leaves than Carpobrotus ice plants, which means they can thread around larger plants with ease.
