Transvaal Ice Plant

Quick Facts :: Growing Tips

Full and Afternoon Sun Xeric Western Only  Legend

Description:

1” x 4-6” wide, (seed propagated). I’ve found this unique succulent to be both beautifully rugged and quite cold hardy. Native to the northern grasslands of South Africa, Transvaal Iceplant grows as a low foliar mat with a huge carrot-like taproot. The handsome chocolate to gray-brown colored foliage makes the perfect backdrop of the showy yellow striped flowers. An oportunistic bloomer, it can flower from early spring into summer when conditions are to its liking. Plant into a lean, fast-draining soil with gravel mulch. Good companion plant for Rabia.

Zones (5?)6-10.

GROWING TIPS

Plant in lean fast draining soil and mulch with gravel! Our Native bees love Nananthus and other South African succulents because this group of plants are some of the first flowers to appear in the spring.
