Mesembryanthemum crystallinum

The Ice Plant has succulent leaves that sparkle with icy bumps, perfect for garnishing fish and balancing sweetness. Its prostrate growth and ornamental beauty make it great for pots and may even naturalize in coastal areas. This perennial herb is edible, with leaves and stems that can be eaten fresh or used as a spinach alternative and crushed foliage that serves as soap. It prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate poor nutrition. The Ice Plant has a history of diuretic use as a medicinal herb, needing to be planted in full sun and protected from frost. Once established, it's drought-tolerant and goes by the name of "Common Ice Plant" or "Salty Ice Plant".
