Ice Plant

Delosperma cooperi, or Ice Plant, is a vibrant, low-growing succulent known for its bright, daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, orange, or yellow. Its fleshy foliage forms a dense, spreading mat, making it ideal for groundcover, rock gardens, slopes, and hot, dry areas. Blooming throughout the summer, it provides long-lasting color and excellent drought tolerance.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, and is drought tolerant, fast growing, and low maintenance. Perfect for xeriscaping and areas where drainage is key.

Maintenance Tip:
Water regularly during the first few weeks after planting, then reduce watering significantly—this plant prefers dry conditions once established. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent rot, especially in heavier soils. Avoid heavy mulch around the crown, and trim lightly if needed to control spread.
