From these, upright leafy branches appear. It has thick, fleshy, smooth leaves, triangular in cross-section and it forms a ground cover that can extend over a large area. Its flowers are large, striking, deep pink-purple and daisy-like and appear from October to January, however it can also sporadically flower throughout the year. Pigface prefers a well-drained position in either full-sun or part-shade and is extremely drought tolerant.
