A very distinctive species living on sandy or cobble beaches by the sea, Oysterleaf has succulent, glaucous, blue-green leaves and small, 5 pointed, bell-like, pink to blue flowers. It has a prostrate growth habit, forming small to large trailing colonies. One to many leafy cymose flowering shoots grow outwards from the crown of the root system. Flowering occurs mid-June to August. It is a perennial; aboveground parts die back during the winter. M. maritima is a northern spcies, occurring from Cape Cod northwards to Baffin island on the east coast and British Columbia northwards on the west coast including Alaska, also on Greenland coasts and coasts of northern Europe. The genus is named after botanist Franz Carl Mertens.
