Herbaceous perennial with a prostrate habit, the crystalline grass is characterized by particularly decorative succulent foliage. At first glance, the plant seems almost covered with a delicate layer of dew. In fact, these are transparent vesicles that act as a water reserve for the plant itself.

Also called ficoide, this species prefers bright exposures and well-drained soil.

Leaves and flowers are edible and give the dishes a fresh and salty taste. Excellent to add raw to salads, sauces, vegetable and fish dishes!
