Mesembryanthemum criniflorum or the Livingstone Daisy is a half-hardy annual with a bright and sunny disposition, guaranteed to bring startling colour to your garden.
Their large, Crazy-Daisy like flowers have almost flourescent qualities which are generally contrasted with white or cream centres and a dark eye.
They are very easy to grow providing you give them plenty of direct sunshine where they will reward with a thick, low carpet of narrow succulent foliage with the flowers held just above for a stunning display of many colours from pink through to orange, apricot, white and reds.
They go well on patios, alpine and rockery as well as coastal gardens and are best grown in borders, raised beds, pots and tubs or even window boxes.
