Sarcozona praecox

A low succulent shrub of the iceplant family from semi-arid southern Australia, with warty, three-angled leaves and pink daisy-like flowers. It grows near salt lakes, on granite outcrops and in mallee. Grow it in full sun in a sandy, very free-draining mix, with little water and no frost.
