''Aptenia cordifolia'' is a species of succulent plant in the iceplant family known by the common names heartleaf iceplant and baby sun rose. Perhaps the most common plant seen under this name is actually ''Aptenia'' 'Red Apple', a hybrid with red flowers and bright green leaves, whose parents are ''A. cordifolia'' and ''A. haeckeliana''. The true species of ''A. cordifolia'' has magenta purple flowers and more heart-shaped, mid-green, textured leaves.
