Aptenia cordifolia - Baby sun rose

Aptenia cordifolia, commonly known as Baby Sun Rose or Heartleaf Ice Plant, is a low-growing, succulent ground cover prized for its bright green, heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, small magenta flowers. This drought-tolerant plant spreads quickly, forming a dense mat, making it ideal for covering slopes, rock gardens, or container edges. Aptenia cordifolia thrives in full sun to partial shade and is easy to maintain, requiring minimal water once established. Its cheerful blooms attract pollinators, and its hardy nature makes it a popular choice for adding colour and texture to various landscapes.
