Ruschia pulvinaris

I wish I could say Shrubby Ice Plant is a cold hardy perennial but in fact it is probably best described as a half-hardy perennial. Planted in a hot sunny spot with good drainage, somewhat protected and kept dry it will reward you with an amazing display of blooms. Its fuchsia-pink flowers completely cover this succulent in late spring. Shrubby Ice Plant is easy to care for, it just has to have a specific location. Try it in a raised bed on the south-facing side of a building or wall and hold back on the water.
