Ice Plant is a fast-growing succulent, hardy in USDA zones 6-10, that matures to about 0.3-0.5 ft × 1-2 ft. It does best in full sun with low water needs in well-drained and very-dry soil. Expect pink and purple blooms in summer and fall. It stands up well to deer and salt, grows happily in containers.
