FIRE SPINNER ICE PLANT 1gal

Are you tired of dry, sunny patches in your Zone 7 or 8 yard where nothing seems to thrive? The Fire Spinner Ice Plant (Delosperma) is the perfect ground cover solution! This rugged succulent is a low-maintenance superstar, quickly forming a dense, evergreen carpet of fleshy, apple-green foliage that looks great all year. The show begins in late spring when it bursts into an incredible, fiery bloom—tri-colored flowers of brilliant orange and magenta with a bright white center, creating a stunning visual "spin" of color that repeats all summer long.

This plant is made for tough spots, happily soaking up full sun and asking for very little water once established. It only reaches a modest 2–3 inches tall but spreads vigorously to 1–2 feet wide, making it ideal for rock gardens, edging, or slopes. Best of all, it's highly deer and rabbit resistant, so your colorful carpet is less likely to become a midday snack for local wildlife.

When planting, remember that excellent drainage is vital. Work a generous amount of Watters Premium Mulch into your native soil to ensure the roots never sit in soggy conditions. This organic material will help keep the soil loose and dry. Once planted, broadcast Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food around the area. This slow-release food will encourage vigorous root development and maximize that stunning flower production. Water lightly to settle the soil, then let this tough little plant enjoy the heat!
