Gardening tip
When planting pig face, make sure to space them about 1 to 2 feet apart to allow them to spread out nicely. They thrive in sandy, well-drained soil and love full sun, so pick a sunny spot in your garden!

In the kitchen
Pig face is not typically eaten by humans, so it’s best to admire this unique plant for its beauty rather than its culinary potential. Its thick leaves and vibrant flowers are more suited for ornamental purposes than for the kitchen.
