Ice plant (Burf)

The ice plant is a succulent ground cover known for its vibrant, daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, yellow, and white. Native to South Africa, it thrives in sunny, well-drained areas and is often used in landscaping for erosion control. The plant’s fleshy leaves can store water, making it drought-tolerant and ideal for dry climates. Its low maintenance and spreading habit make it a popular choice for gardens.
