Carpobrotus
( kar - poh - BROH - tus )
At-A-Glance InformationCommonly known as Ice Plant, this perennial flowering succulent forms a woody base from which fleshy leaves and flowers sprout. These plants need full sun and little to moderate water for best performance and have naturalized themselves along the California coast. They have a trailing habit, and blooms pop in summertime. They do not take overwatering well, preferring somewhat dry, well-draining soil.
