Yellow Iceplant
Yellow iceplant is a semi-evergreen, low-growing groundcover with small jellybean-like leaves. In summer the leaves are a light lime green; in the fall and winter, they are reddish purple.
Yellow iceplant is a low-maintenance plant with yellow flowers that cover the leaves when it is in bloom. Over time, the mat of leaves will fill in an area. It is a reliably hardy, good year-round plant for the Pikes Peak region. It works well at higher elevations, too.
