Aptenia Cordifolia Variegata 140mm

Vibrant, cheerful and incredibly easy to grow, Aptenia cordifolia ‘Variegata’ is a standout groundcover known for its fleshy, heart-shaped leaves edged in creamy white and soft green. This eye-catching variegation brings light and contrast to garden beds, rockeries, and pots, even when the plant isn’t in flower.

In warmer months, it produces a scattering of small, daisy-like blooms in bright magenta-pink, adding a lively pop of colour against the foliage. Low-growing and fast-spreading, it forms a dense mat that’s perfect for covering bare areas, trailing over walls, or softening edges.

Tough and drought tolerant once established, this plant thrives in full sun to part shade and handles coastal conditions with ease. It’s a fantastic low-maintenance option for adding colour and texture without the fuss.

Tip: For the best colour and compact growth, plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Trim lightly if it becomes leggy—this will encourage a denser, more vibrant spread.
