Fig Fusion Ice Plant is an tidy compact evergreen succulent that makes an excellent dense groundcover with fleshy dark green foliage that earns purple tones in winter. Frilly, soft violet daisy like flowers with wide white ring around the yellow eye coat the plant all summer and into fall. Needs full sun and dry, sharply-drained soils. Heat and drought tolerant. The Hot Cakes series gets its name from the warm vanilla scent of its flowers.
