Halimione pedunculata, the pedunculate sea-purslane, is an annual plant occurring on salty sandy grounds along the seashore. It grows with a standing herbaceous stem up to 30 cm high. The leaves are long and spade shaped. The stipules are triangle shaped to oppositely heart shaped, without spikes, with long petioles.
Pedunculate sea-purslane is well resistant to disease and generally not susceptible to illnesses. With respect to care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only light watering, and larger specimens typically do not require pruning. Smaller specimens, however, should be pruned after they have finished blooming. Pedunculate sea-purslanet is suitable for anyone who has outdoor space, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.
