Transform your sunny, dry landscape into a vibrant oasis with Pink Ice Plant, a spectacular succulent groundcover that produces a dazzling display of hot pink, daisy-like flowers throughout the summer months. Each bloom features hundreds of needle-thin, iridescent petals radiating from a bright golden-yellow center, creating a jewel-like effect that sparkles in the sunlight—hence the name “Ice Plant.”
This remarkable South African native is the ultimate solution for challenging garden spots where other plants struggle. Its fleshy, cylindrical leaves store water like tiny reservoirs, making it extraordinarily drought-tolerant once established. The dense, mat-forming habit spreads 12-24 inches wide while staying low at just 3-6 inches tall, creating a living carpet that suppresses weeds and covers bare ground with ease.
Pink Ice Plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it perfect for rock gardens, slopes, xeriscaping, green roofs, and coastal gardens where salt tolerance is essential. Hardy in zones 5-10, this tough perennial laughs at heat, poor soil, and neglect, rewarding you with months of non-stop blooms from late spring through early fall. The flowers open in response to sunlight, creating a dynamic display that comes alive each day.
Deer and rabbit resistant with virtually no pest or disease issues, Ice Plant is truly a plant-it-and-forget-it groundcover. Use it to cascade over retaining walls, fill gaps between stepping stones, edge borders, or create bold sweeps of color in areas where lawn grass won’t grow. Its fire-resistant properties also make it valuable for defensible space landscaping in wildfire-prone regions.
