Ice Plant John Proffitt

TABLE MOUNTAIN® Ice Plant (Delosperma 'John Proffitt')

Add pizzazz with this succulent ground cover that keeps on blooming from spring until fall. Deep fuchsia flowers open in the heat of the day for a burst of color and close again in the late afternoon. Bright green foliage reaches a 2" height and creeps into cracks, hangs over walls, and spills out of containers. How is it that "Ice" plant is so heat and drought tolerant?
