Hardiness: USDA Zone 4 (-30 to -20 °F)

Growing Conditions: This hybrid South African ice plant grows best in well-drained loam or sandy soils in full sun. It prefers moderate watering in dry summers, but tolerates dry soil. Too much water, particularly in winter, can cause die-back. Gravel mulch is preferable to bark mulch.
Description: This vigorous cold-hardy ice plant grows 1-2 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide. Flat, succulent leaves remain bright green year-round. In late spring and early summer, it produces large orange-red flowers with magenta centers. It may bloom sporadically throughout summer with monsoon rains. It is recommended as a nonflammable groundcover in the arid West.
