Please help me ID this plant!
Hello,
I need to identify a plant in my yard. This plant grows creeping along the ground. The leaves are thick and almost rubbery to touch. The flower in the picture is just under the size of a dime. This plant is very robust around my yard. it has popped up in various places quite some distance from one another. While it's not a bad looking plant, it grows rapidly and starts to over grow the boundry of the dirt. (ie. starts to creep onto the path/patio). It also starts to choke out other plants, frequently growing throughout the leaves and branches of other flowers. I live in Southern California. Can someone please ID this plant by the picture I have posted here (same pic, various sizes): http://www.nfxtech.com/files/idplant_sm.jpg http://www.nfxtech.com/files/idplant_med.jpg http://www.nfxtech.com/files/idplant_lg.jpg And if you have any background info/links on it I would also be very appreciative. |

I believe this is "Red Apple, " or aptenia cordifolia, which you'll find,
for starters, on page 195 of the 2001 edition of the Sunset Western Garden book.

Bingo! right on the money it is indeed considered "Ice Plant" but the exact

Your plant is typical purple flowered Aptenia cordifolia.
Aptenia 'Red Apple' is a garden hybrid between purple flowered Aptenia cordifolia and yellow flowered Aptenia haeckeliana. It is a more robust plant than genuine Aptenia cordifolia. Why all the cross posting for such a common and easily identified plant? tbell wrote in message ...

Many of the Mesembryanthema used in landscaping are commonly called "Ice
Plant" as are a number of cold hardy Sedum and Hylotelephium in the Crassulaceae. Common names are really not that useful. Carolyn LeCrone wrote in message ... Is it ice plant?
