The Lavender Ice Hardy Ice Plant is a mat-forming groundcover that can easily live in challenging conditions and adds a burst of color to a space. This Delosperma has 2-inch-wide, daisy-like flowers in an iridescent shade of lavender. The blooms are a darker shade of lavender near the center and bloom from June through August. The abundant blooms are surrounded by green, succulent-like, evergreen foliage.
This plant thrives in dry conditions, so feature Lavender Ice in rock gardens or areas that are not easy or convenient to water. This Hardy Ice Plant is heat and drought tolerant. The mat-forming growth habit makes this stunner an excellent groundcover or ‘spiller’ in a container, as the reaching stems can cascade over the pot's side. Pollinators like butterflies will frequent the flowers. Lavender Ice is a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8.
