Nursery contributed plant descriptions
From high elevations, subject to moisture at almost any time of the year, though not very frequently, this little mimicking ice plant, to 1/2" to 1" in height, and only a few inches in width, has small cupped leaves, nicely blue-green, often tinted purply in bright light, very much like the surrounding small stones amid which it lives. Small yellow flowers appear in late summer or early autumn, sometimes spring. A little jewel. Likes particularly gritty, well-drained soil, though tolerant of water at any point of the year, but best to let dry in autumn before winter's approach. USDA zone 5.
