I am a fan of plants that spread. They soften lines in the garden. I like the look of spilling over rock borders and walls.

This ice plant is growing nicely in its spot along the rock border. I like that it stays low and compact. This one is neater than some I have grown in the past.

This color combo really pops. The yellow center with petals which trsnsition from orange to pink lives up to its name ‘ Orange Sunset Orange Glow.’

Its tag claims hardiness to -30°F. This is also deer resistant. If it survives several seasons I will be thrilled.
