Mesa Verde Iceplant
Mesa Verde iceplant is a succulent groundcover with salmon-pink flowers. It produces a low-growing mat of fleshy light green leaves that grows well in sunny, dry locations. The flowers are an iridescent, almost metallic, salmon-pink with light yellow centers.
Mesa Verde is a great choice when looking for a drought-tolerant plant that won't get wider than 12-18 inches. Its unusual flower color can also be a great asset.
