Outsidepride Ice Plant Congestum Ground Cover Seed- 200 Seeds

Delosperma congestum, or commonly called Ice Plant, is a perennial flowering plant that thrives in full sun and heat. It is excellent for growing in containers, rock gardens, or along the edge of sidewalks or driveways. The foliage is fleshy and succulent, and in the late spring, aster-like yellow flowers can cover the foliage. Numerous flowers open each morning and close in the afternoon. Ice Plant needs sandy or gritty soil that drains quickly. It is native to South Africa, and it prefers fast-draining soil and full sun. Ice Plant ground cover seed can be started either indoors or directly outside. If starting inside, start the seed 6 – 8 weeks before the end of frost season. If starting outdoors, wait until frost danger has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to 70F. Press the seed into the soil but do not cover it. Keep the seed consistently moist until germination occurs which is usually within 28 days. For transplanting into the garden, wait until frost season has passed and space the plants about 10 inches apart.
