Do you find that these get chewed by any garden "bugs" ?

I have had this plant in other parts of my garden for about 4 years and never found it has been eaten by anything at all. The plants that are in my rock garden are just pieces I took from the other ones elswhere and they root so easily, its unbelievable. They only started off as about 3 or 4 little pieces of stem and now look at them. I only started planting this rock garden out in about May this year, so you can see how it has all grown.Hope this helps Tt. I definately recommend it.

Thanks for the info.
Did you buy that Drosanthemum from a local garden centre ?

I have a plant which looks rather similar...
Delosperma cooperi....
and when planted outside, something chewed all the flower heads off...
the only way I could get it to flower was to dig it up and put it in a pot on my kitchen window sill ! :o(
