    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Glistening white flowers all summer on shiny, deep green foliage. A very low-growing cultivar to about three inches. Ice plants are long-blooming and carefree succulent mat-forming perennials similar to sedums that thrive in heat, drought and nearly any well-drained soil. Very hardy but should be protected from winter wet either with very well drained soil or in the rainshadow of a house or other structure. Great in containers. Deer resistant.
