Saucy Strawberry 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 strawberry red daisy like flowers with a fuchsia ring around the white centers and a yellow eye coat the plant all summer. 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.
