Ficoide/Ice Plant, also known as Delosperma, is a low-growing succulent plant that is prized for its colorful, daisy-like flowers and trailing habit. This plant is native to South Africa and is well-suited for hot, dry climates. The fleshy, triangular leaves of the Ice Plant are typically green or bluish-green in color and have a slightly translucent quality, giving them a unique appearance. The flowers of the Ice Plant come in a variety of vibrant colors, including shades of pink, purple, orange, and yellow, and bloom profusely throughout the summer months. Ice Plants are excellent ground cover plants, as they spread quickly and form a dense mat that helps to suppress weeds. They are also drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making them a popular choice for rock gardens, containers, and xeriscape landscapes.
