tcs1366 Yes, they are perennials in my zone. I know that it states zone 5, but D. cooperi have come back for 3 years since I bought the original plant. Springhill Nursery? No wonder!!

There are other iceplants that I can't grow due to lack of hardiness. I have 6 different iceplants varieties, all seems to be hardy. HOwever, just incase, I take in a plant of each variety and grow them over the winter on my window sill. Like you, I love them also and don't want to lose them. I bought a new one last fall, with yellow flower that bloom all summer from the company below.

Here is a link where I buy my plants and very happy with the service and shipping. They have several iceplants plus water wise plants. You can order their catalog and sign up for their special offers online. My daughter and I just sent another order this month and split the shipping cost.
