Baja Plant ID Needed?


Spotted at Las Gaviotas...........anyone know the name? I'd like to add to my cacti/succulent backyard collage. I'm talking about the purple flowering succulent/plant.

Ice plant, maybe Delosperma cooperi (Hardy Ice Plant).

FYI, Jon.......I asked the same question on your other thread because I have a yard full of it. It's beautiful for about 30--45 days per year, like right now. The rest of the year, it doesn't flower like this.

It's popular and can be found in residential areas. Pinch off a few tendrils and plug them in. They should thrive and before you know it, you'll have more than you want.
