The Mezoo Trailing Red is a sprawling to mounding plant with succulent green leaves edged with white and occasionally accented by button-sized red flowers in spring. This annual succulent is from South Africa’s Cape Provinces. The small, round, daisy-like flowers appear on the stems among the heavy, elliptical, pointed leaves.

Bright flowers with many petite petals remain open during cloudy weather, unlike other Livingstone daisies which close if the sky darkens. This variety is a compact flower bred by Syngenta. It is commonly used as a border plant, in hanging baskets, or in a patio container. It also makes an excellent “spiller” in sunny container gardens or an annual groundcover in the rock garden. This plant tolerates poor soil, heat, and drought!
