Carpobrotus Edulis Giant Pink Ice Plant – 1 Fresh Cutting.
Carpobrotus acinaciformis is a fast growing, mat-forming succulent perennial with flat-growing, trailing stems up to 3.2 feet (2 m) or longer.
Bright pink daisy flowers cover the bush throughout most of the year with the main flush in spring and summer. Is drought hardy and suitable for sandy soils and coastal positions. Prefers a full sun position and is suitable for pots.

Solitary flowers (brilliant pink-violet to dark magenta) at the end of a short stalk, hermaphrodite, up to 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, daisy-like with many stamens
Grows well in containers. Easy to propagate; simply break pieces off before they begin to flower and stick them in the ground. Good winter effect. Useful for planting in green roofs or in rock walls. Perfect for hanging baskets as they love to cascade.
Fresh healthy un-rooted plant cuttings around 3″-5″ long ( each cutting )
Place in soil or water for fast rooting within 7 days. Very easy to root and grow.
