This creeping ice plant has rich red outer petals that merge to magenta hubs around yellow stamens. Extremely drought tolerant eye-catching ground cover. When not in bloom, the small, needle-like succulent foliage is a bright green and only reaches just 1 to 2 inches high. When the gorgeous multi-colored 1½-inch flowers begin appearing, the height increases to just 4 inches! Yet this plant forms a dense, colorful mat and retains soil moisture beautifully.
