When to plant hardy ice plant
Hardy ice plant is a low succulent groundcover best planted in spring, the standard window for hardy perennials. NC State notes it flourishes in dry, sandy soil in full sun, needs very good drainage, and may struggle to return in wet-winter areas.
Hardy Ice Plant is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
