Tell Me More…
Carpet-like mats of succulent foliage with masses of neon red coloured daisy flowers. Bred in Japan, where garden space is limited so flower power is very important, these incredible plants produce flowers continuously from spring until the first frosts. Commonly known as the ice plant, they can withstand the toughest environments and still shine like a jewel. Beautiful when planted alongside paths or grown in crevices. Loved by butterflies. Unfussy on soil conditions in sun or part shade. Fully hardy perennials.
