**INFORMATION**
Aptenia cordifolia ‘Variegata’ is a trailing succulent perennial that forms a thick carpet of fleshy, heart-shaped, glossy green leaves adorned with creamy-white edges. It produces a profusion of bright pink or purplish, small daisy flowers in spring and summer, nearly year-round in the tropics. This variety is ideal for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens, rock gardens, or containers. It is also a good choice for long-lasting hanging baskets or for cascading over the edges of walls. The plant is drought-resistant and will not tolerate soggy soils, which will cause rotting and attract deadly fungal infections. It thrives in full sun in sandy, well-drained soils. Good drainage is essential to survival. Water regularly when the soil becomes dry. Keep dry in the winter. Fertilize very lightly in early spring. Easy to grow, Aptenia cordifolia is a good choice as a succulent groundcover or to prevent erosion of banks and slopes. Generally pest and disease-free

**HOW TO GROW:

Watering:
Aptenia is a semi-succulent plant, which means it is more tolerant of dry soil than wet soil and is prone to rotting in wet soil. You should water it sparingly, if in doubt. You can always add more water.
You can confidently allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant goes dormant in Autumn and Winter and therefore needs less watering. The soil should be lightly moist in spring and summer.
