Amethyst 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 highly saturated pinkish purple 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.
