Plant name question?

Post by LittleBrownFrog »

At our old house, we had a daisy-type plant growing out of cracks in the path and walls, and up the sides of the steps. It had longer, thinner stems than lawn daisies, and slightly pinker flowers. It spread really nicely, and looked beautiful. I'd love to get some for the garden here, but I have no idea what it is called, and am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction?

I think it may be an ice plant, not sure of the pompous name for it though

Ice plant is sedum which has fleshy leaves and doesn't look like a daisy - Mrs B has been )hic( {rofwl}
