Aptenia cordifolia is a perennial, prostrate, ground-covering herb with small heart-shaped, glossy green succulent leaves sparkling in the sun. It appear to crawl along the soil and hug the ground forming a tight, almost clipped appearance and stays green year-round. Aptenia is a popular, maintenance-free ground cover used extensively to cover banks and slopes through-out the tropics and warmer temperate areas of the world. It is one of the more easily cultivated succulent species.

Common Names include: Rock rose, Noon flower, Heart-leaf iceplant, Dew plant, Heartleaf iceplant, Red apple, Ice Plant, Aptenia, Baby Sun Rose
Temp zones: 8B-11
Frost tolerance: will handle temperatures down to - 7° C/ 19.4 F
Sun exposure: Sun to half-shade.
Origin: eastern coastal region of the Cape Province
Growth habits: Plants grow no taller than about 7-10 cm but can climb on neighboring vegetation cloaking the base of trees and shrubs up to 2 metres tall, and forming a thick mat by growing over itself.
Watering needs: Water regularly when soil becomes dry, characteristics indicate that it can over-summer without water and then grow vigorously during the rainy season, although constantly wet soil can cause it to rot.
