Red Pigface (Mesembryanthemum sp. 'Red')

Hot, dry, sandy and forgotten - the spots where nothing grows are exactly where Red Pigface thrives. This succulent ice plant hugs the ground in a mat of fleshy foliage, then erupts in brilliant red daisy-like flowers that shimmer in full sun. It is drought-proofing and dazzle in one plant.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Red Pigface

✔ Brilliant Red Flowers - glistening blooms open in the sun through spring and summer.

✔ True Drought Survivor - succulent leaves store water through the harshest dry spells.

✔ Fast Living Mulch - spreads quickly to carpet bare soil and crowd out weeds.

✔ Salt & Coast Proof - completely at home in seaside gardens and sandy soil.

✔ Almost Zero Care - no feeding, minimal watering, no pruning to speak of.

🏡 How to Use Red Pigface in Your Garden

✅ Hot Banks & Slopes - binds loose soil where mowing and watering are impossible.

✅ Coastal Gardens - front-line colour in salty wind and sand.

✅ Rockeries - spills over rocks and walls in a curtain of red bloom.

✅ Pots & Troughs - a waterfall of succulent foliage and flowers, watered rarely.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun and free-draining soil; loves coastal and dry climates, tolerating light frost only.
  • Spacing: Plant 40-50cm apart; mats join up within a season.
  • Best Planting Time: Spring to autumn; any frost-free time of year.
  • Watering & Care: Water sparingly to establish, then leave it to rainfall. Overwatering is the only common way to kill it.

❔ FAQs About Red Pigface

Why do the flowers close sometimes?
Ice plant flowers open in bright sunshine and close in the evening or on overcast days. Plant it in the sunniest spot you have for the longest daily show.

How many do I need to cover a bank?
At 40-50cm spacing, a pack of 10 covers roughly 2-3 square metres, knitting into a solid weed-suppressing mat within a season.

Can I grow it from broken pieces?
Yes, stems root readily where they touch soil, so you can spread your planting further as it grows.
