Long Lasting Purple Carpet of Thick Succulent Weave

The vibrant pinkish purple daisy like flowers of this Purple Ice Plant bloom over light, greenish blue foliage. Flowers appear in late spring and stick around all summer long until the first frost.

Purple Ice Plants are a low growing succulent, and these Delosperma species are terrific for the South and Southwest, never growing more than a few inches high, Ice plants spread instead forming an attractive, ground hugging mat.

These plants are ideal ground cover and perfect for the bank or slope. They are also great for containers, providing a modern and sophisticated look.

This perennial has become a popular Xeriscape (no watering) plant, and you can see why.

Highly tolerant of drought and other adverse conditions, Purple Ice Plants are low maintenance, vigorous growers and will thrive without much help from you…a busy gardener’s dream come true!

The perfect plant for my waterfall mound to quickly cover the dirt and reduce and erosion. Rwo smal pots is enough to cover the mound in one season. I traded a handful to my neighbor last fall and that handful has grown to cover an area of five feet square each. The purple ice plant is also a perfect selection for growing on banks where poor soil and heavy rains make it nearly impossible to get grass to grow. Planting is easy: just poke a hole in the ground with your finger of any instrument, stick a piece of purple ice plant into the hole, cover with dirt.

Today we saw several varieties of the Ice Plant at the Denver Botanical Garden here in Colorado. The Ice Plants were beautiful and so well adapted to our climate here at the Mile High City. It stated that they were from South Africa.
