Ice plant is a common name for many genera and species but two of the most popular genera known for their brightly colored flowers are the perennials Lampranthus and Delosperma. The name ice plant derives from tiny hairs on the plant's leaves and stems that reflect light in a way that resembles ice crystals. The foliage is fleshy and succulent-like, morphing into a darker color as fall temperatures drop. Ironically, ice plants are cold-sensitive, but many types are evergreen in warm, dry regions. Ice plants are used in sunny but sheltered rock gardens, on slopes, as ground cover, or as edging plants. 

Here are the basic requirements for successfully growing ice plants.

  • Plant in full sun or south facing in your home.
  • Use well-draining soil.
  • Water every two weeks.
  • Space the plants 15 to 18 inches apart because they will quickly spread to fill the space.
  • Prune out any winter-killed stems every spring.
