Disphyma crassifolium (Rounded Noon-Flower)
No Comments »27th October, 2006; Category: Climbers and Ground Covers, Drought Tolerant Plants, Frost Hardy Plants
This is another of the Australian Native succulents. This one is found on saline soils, rocky cliffs at the sea side and saline soils inland. This is a very hardy plant being frost and drought tolerant. It is especially good for areas where salinity is a problem. It would be good on an embankment which is the use I have for it. The plant makes roots at each node where it touches the soil.
The leaves seem to take on the reddish hew when it is in a dry position.
