The ice plant, often Delosperma, is a low-growing succulent prized for its dazzling, daisy-like flowers that shimmer in the sun. The name comes from the glistening, ice-crystal-like appearance of water-storing cells on its fleshy leaves. Blooming profusely in spring and sometimes sporadically through summer, the flowers come in vibrant shades of pink, purple, yellow, orange, and red. This drought-tolerant groundcover is perfect for sunny rock gardens and attracts pollinators, adding a splash of long-lasting color to arid landscapes.
