Yesterday I bought this beautiful plant. It's a small grass with succulent leaves. I searched in the web, but I could't find anything about how to grow it. I discovered it doesn't want much water, and that it lives in San Diego region. Can someone help me with advices about growing? Thank you very much. Ciao

You'll find more information with with spelling Dymondia margaretae.
"Fast growing, the silver carpet forms a neat, prostrate, fairly drought-resistant ground cover, with blue-grey foliage and small, yellow, daisy-like flowers [in spring]. If not given a well-drained position the plant tends to rot and die back. It could also be used to form a ground cover between paving stones or railway sleepers. Plant the silver carpet in light, sandy, well-drained soil, adding plenty of compost. Do not overwater. Propagation by seed or division of clumps. Natural distribution: it grows in the southern Cape [of South Africa]."
