They are hardy, but they don't seem to spread the way everyone else says they do. Then again, we have the most dense, highly acidic, red clay ground you could ever have. Perhaps this is the issue....? From Georgia: I love the look of the ice plants and have planted nine of them in a small area.

I was lucky enough to go to a garden store today when they just got their shipment in and they had one Cooper's ice plant but would love other varieties to fill my yard. I have over 2/3 of an acre of weeds that I inherited with my new house. If you are still offering cuttings I would love some. please let me know what I need to do to get some.

I live in Ventura California so it does not get cold. I was wondering if I should be using the clear top or should I just leave the clippings to the open air.

I love this plant and want to start growing it in Texas. I would love a clipping of your ice plant just to have around if still available. I will pay the freight. My mother in law has past on and I remember that she told me that it was easy to propagate. Your advise has reinforced what she had told me, I will try this with the two variaties that I have. There is one type that I am unsure of as far as type, she called it California red apple.Does this sound like a type of ice plant to you?

Less lawn to mow. Let me know what the postage will be, your mailing address and I will send stamps, whatever to you. Love your site; planning one of my own if I can stay in front of the computer for any length of time. I don't spend much time inside this time of year.

WOW.. i never thought I'd hear someone say how much they like it. When I was in the Navy, I lived in Monterey, CA. The entire Central coast is plagued with iceplant. In some situations, it is nice as a ground cover. Like you said, it is extremely hardy and the purple flowers that blossom are nice. We had a house right off of the coast, and our yard was covered in iceplant. We wanted some grass in our yard and it was hell to try and achieve that. We couldn't get rid of it so we just tried to contain it. The way it weaves itself into the ground is amazing. Trench Warfare at its finest! Iceplant..
