Opal Ice Plant is a compact evergreen succulent that makes an excellent dense groundcover with fleshy dark green foliage that earns purple tones in winter. Frilly double petaled fuchsia daisy like flowers with small white centers and a yellow eye coat the plant from spring into fall. Needs full sun and dry, sharply-drained soils. Heat and drought tolerant.
