Requiring the minimum of protection during winter, and with their flowers up to 4 ins. and more across, this is a plant that everyone will want to try. The "figs" are eaten fresh, dried, cooked or pickled and, as a double bonus, the succulent leaves can be used in salads (go on! astound your friends with a plateful of green chips) or as a substitute for pickled cucumbers. 8-12 ins.
