Solved Succulent ID please

Is anyone able to put a name to this succulent, please? Any idea too how hardy I should expect it to be?

I acquired it as a cutting and would expect it to start trailing at some point - it was acquired as a cutting from a mother plant which was doing so vigorously. I've got it out of doors, as that was (albeit here in London, and within a balcony) so am wondering whether it should come in over the winter.

Many thanks!

 

Looks like the Carpobrotus edulis, the hottentot-fig to me. If it is, I don'y know how it does in the UK.

 

I agree with Victoria, it never survives in my garden on the occasions I have tried it but around the coast it grows like a weed, my source of cuttings was always from the large mats of the stuff growing on the cliffs at Folkestone.
It might do well in London also but probably wont grow much this year now, next year a bigger pot or better still a warm sunny spot in the garden where it will probably flower if its happy.

 

Great, yes this is clearly it - I will keep it in the pot overwinter and hope for some exotic flowers next year! Many thanks both.

 

Should add, as you probably know, these kind of plants like poor well drained soil as a bit of starvation helps the flowering.

 

I can't get it to survive inside, let alone in the garden!
Must.try.harder.

 

It grows wild on the beaches and on rough ground here so can't imagine it would like to be pampered indoors!

 

I've tried it in a greenhouse, and like house leeks, it goes all big and leafy and kind of out of character, but if I wanted to grow it it would have to be outside in summer and some protection in winter, maybe just a rain shelter would be enough.

 

I took a cutting from here back to Bucks many moons ago. I had a sheltered walled-in back garden and I don't think it made the first winter with me.

 

By inside, I mean cold conservatory...with the rest of the succulents. Outside in sand....that didn't work, either!

 

It is classed a a non native invasive plant and grows rampant along the South coast. I was told to remove it if I saw it anywhere on rockeries in Weymouth parks when I worked there.
