Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Red Mountain iceplant grows as a small mat of succulent green leaves. It produces orange-red blossoms in the spring, which last into summer.
Unfortunately, this plant has not been reliably winter cold hard at the Xeriscape Garden. Occasionally we'll get one to last a few years, but it is not reliable for widespread use throughout Colorado Springs unless you have a sunny, warm, protected location.
We have included information on this plant because it is commonly sold in plant nurseries.
No maintenance is required, except raking debris off the plant as needed. Be sure to plant this in an area with excellent drainage and pea gravel mulch. Some ice plants perform poorly in wood or bark mulch.
