Mesa Verde Ice Plant

There's absolutely no reason why a water smart garden shouldn't have fabulous flowers, and Mesa Verde Ice Plant (Delosperma Mesa Verde) proves the point. This creeping succulent ground cover produces showy, salmon pink blooms that sparkle in the sunlight, and you can expect to get flowers from late spring through to the first frosts. In frost-free areas, it will just keep on flowering, producing the largest number of blooms in late spring and fall. You don't have to do a thing other than find a well-drained spot for these little beauties. They grow quickly and do the rest all by themselves.
