I have several varieties of ice plant in a 1600 sq. ft. area. We live in zone 9, central valley California. The ice plant grows and spreads great and in the spring bloomed amazingly but was supposed to bloom all summer. I have a few flowers left but nothing like in spring. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

I have lived in Southern California coastal and inland regions most my 51 years. I’ve had several varieties of iceplant growing in my yards and neighborhoods and bees always present when the flowers on the iceplant bloom; they’ve never been a bother to me.

Bees were always all over mine.

I like all the comments I’ve seen about Ice Plants, but my one question is: DO THEY ATTRACT BEES?

From Georgia: I love the look of the ice plants and have planted nine of them in a small area. 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….?

I love ice plants but for whatever reason had a very hard time finding them except for the very expensive ones in the seed catalogs that always arrive half dead and never make it. 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.

Thanks for the information. I love Ice Plant for “succulent bouquets” in pots here in Phoenix.

Yes, iceplant needs full sun.

I purchased a seed starter tray this weekend and planted 72 clippings. 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.
