Another trailing ground cover that is really nice and hearty, is aptenia or baby sun rose, etc. Easy to grow from cuttings and grows pretty fast.

I am growing some cuttings I'm going to plant as a companion plant/ground cover in my Zuni crepe myrtle tree pot on my balcony.

This is a really nice photo showing it in a group planting:

The flowers open and close with the light. It also comes in different varieties, including a variegated one. I just think it's a happy, cute little plant.

Zuni:
Thank you for sharing this pretty little groundcover. I agree. It's a perfect little plant. I went out and researched a bit online. The little flowers look like Ice plant. It's related to ice plant, in fact. I will definately try to find this to trail over my Aloe pot.

I always have a combo pot with african daisy as the main attraction over the summer, and these mimic that flower so well. The yellow of each plant are such a match it would be just adorable together. Thanks, just one more reason I am chomping at the bit for spring.
