RE: Macro of Ice plant

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed them. My understanding is that Ice Plant is good in zones 6 to 9. I'm in 6b and have had no problem with winter die back. Outside of that, I can't say.

The most important thing for them is probably a fairly dry area. They are xeric.

RE: Macro of Ice plant

There are two different flowers commonly called ice plants the delosperma and mesembryanthemum. I have grown the mesembryanthemum and those are considered half hardy annuals in my climate. Just thought I'd throw that in so that those picking out "ice plants" get the species they really want.
