Table Mountain Iceplant
Table Mountain iceplant is an excellent choice for a low-growing, drought tolerant groundcover. It is very resilient and the flowers create a bright showcase of color in spring. The shimmering bright purple blooms put on the best show in May, but periodically reappear throughout the summer.
Table Mountain iceplant grows as a mat-forming succulent with dark green leaves. The leaves, often tinged with purple, remain through winter.
