Carpobrotus, commonly known as Pigface or Ice Plant, is a tough, sun-loving Australian succulent famous for its vibrant daisy-like flowers and dense, spreading habit. It’s one of the easiest groundcovers to grow, thriving in harsh coastal conditions while adding bold colour and erosion control.
✔ Exceptionally hardy - Thrives in heat, drought, wind, and coastal salt spray.
✔ Brilliant flowers - Produces vivid pink, purple, red, or yellow blooms through the warmer months.
✔ Fast-spreading groundcover - Quickly carpets large areas and suppresses weeds.
✔ Edible fruit - The succulent pigface fruit is a traditional bush tucker food.
✔ Low maintenance - Requires virtually no care once established.
✅ Coastal gardens - Ideal for beachside areas thanks to its extreme salt tolerance.
✅ Groundcover for large spaces - Quickly covers bare soil and reduces erosion.
✅ Rock gardens and slopes - Cascades beautifully over rocks or embankments.
✅ Waterwise gardens - Perfect for drought-tolerant, low-maintenance designs.
Spacing: Plant 40 to 60cm apart for fast, dense groundcover. Adding extra plants ensures quicker coverage and stronger weed suppression.
Best Planting Time: Can be planted year-round, best season is spring.
Mulching & Fertilising: This plant thrives naturally and does not require mulching or fertiliser to stay healthy.
Is Pigface good for erosion control?

Is the fruit edible?

How much water does it need?
