With temperatures heating up, gardeners are looking for plants that can take the heat. With a name like Ice Plant, you may think it likes it cold, but you would be wrong. Ice plant is the common name for several different succulent ground-hugging plants with thick fleshy leaves and interesting flowers.
For years, I would try them, and they usually died. The newer ice plants are making me reconsider this lovely group of plants. There are annual and perennial forms available, but since I grow them in containers, they have all been annuals for me.
Delosperma is probably the genus most recognized as the original ice plant. Flower colors were usually shades of pink or purple,
but today you can get the traditional pink and purple, but yellows,
oranges, reds and bi-colors.
