Ice Plant Mix (Dorotheanthus Bellidiformis Mix) - Start this Ice Plant seed mix and enjoy the brilliant colors in this drought tolerant ground cover plant. Also known as Livingstone Daisy, this showy, trailing plant is frost tender making it an annual in most areas of the United States. Livingstone Daisy Ice Plants are perfect for along the driveway, flowerbed, or mass plantings anywhere in full sun to create a low-growing, blooming  water conserving ground cover.

This mix of Dorotheanthus Bellidiformis seeds produce free-flowering, drought-tolerant, easy-to-care-for plants that thrive in the hot, dry soil that other plants simply will not tolerate. These bright colored daisies typically are 1 1/2 inches across with dozens of long, slender petals jammed around a black eye. They face straight up on plants that just reach 4 - 6 inches tall. You can not find an easier flowering ground cover plant to establish from ground cover seed.

Sow Livingstone Daisy seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Or, sow Ice Plant ground cover seeds outdoors after danger of frost has passed. If started indoors, transplant when seedlings are 2 inches tall and space them 12 inches apart. Apply a slow-release fertilizer at the time of transplanting. 

Common Questions

Q

A

Most ice plants have a quick and aggressive growth and spread rate.

Q

Are plants toxic for my pets?

A

Ice plants are considered non-toxic for your pets.

Q

My plants’ leaves are turning yellow, what do I do?

This is a sign of overwatering. Ice plants need soils that drain well, and you should allow plants to dry out between waterings. Excess moisture can weaken or kill your plants.

Q

Do I need to deadhead my plants?

A

No, deadheading does not promote further blooming with ice plants.

Q

Can I grow in containers?

A

Yes, ice plants do well in containers as long as you provide a well-draining potting mix. A thin layer of gravel placed over potting mix will help to keep your leaves dry as well.
