Ice Plant (Dorotheanthus Bellidiformis Gelato Yellow Shades) - Enjoy this fast-spreading, sunny yellow Livingstone Daisy. It establishes easily and quickly from ground cover seeds. Drought tolerant Livingstone Daisy Ice Plant is perfect for along the driveway, flower bed, or mass planting anywhere in your xeriscape landscape. These quick-spreading ground cover plants are blazing with yellow blooms all summer long. The blooms typically measure 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 plant to establish from ground cover seed. Livingstone Daisy Ice Plants are a tender perennial. In areas that are not frost free, grow them as annuals for their quick, colorful display.
Sow Ice Plant seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Or, sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Transplant the yellow Livingstone Daisy seedlings when they are 2 inches tall and space them 12 inches apart. Ice Plant care includes trimming any spent blooms to tidy the appearance. Watch for slug or snail damage.
Common Questions
How quickly does ice plant spread?
Most ice plants have a quick and aggressive growth and spread rate.
Are plants toxic for my pets?
Ice plants are considered non-toxic for your pets.
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.
Do I need to deadhead my plants?
No, deadheading does not promote further blooming with ice plants.
Can I grow in containers?
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.
