Delosperma floribundum
Ice plant flowers grow in USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9 and will bloom for most of the summer and fall. Their foliage is mostly evergreen and, because of this, they make a great year-round ground cover. While the plant is evergreen, it will often have some dieback of foliage in the winter.
Some popular varieties of ice plants include:
Cooper’s ice plant (Delosperma cooperi) – This purple ice plant is the most common variety
Hardy yellow (Delosperma brunnthaleri) – This species consists of lovely yellow flowers
Starburst (Delosperma floribundum) – An ice plant variety with pink flowers and a white center
Hardy white (Delosperma herbeau) – A white-flowered type that offers exceptional beauty
How to Grow an Ice Plant
Ice plants prefer full sun but can tolerate some light shade in the garden.
Because ice plants are succulents, they do not tolerate wet soil, though they do well in poor soils. In fact, wet soil, especially during the winter months, is likely to kill the plants. In areas where the soil stays consistently dry, this plant can become invasive, so it is best to take this into consideration when planting it. | ' ice plant' | Plants |

Sempervivum Info
Best planted in clusters, Sempervivum throw new offsets (chicks) each spring. Once a plant blooms, it dies, but the chicks carry on for future years, maturing and making their own offsets. Common names are 'Hens & Chicks' and 'Houseleeks'. | | Plants |
