Last year I planted a couple tiny Ice Plant sprigs in between stones on our little waterfall. It has grown like crazy and has completely filled in all the bare spots. The plant bears beautiful fuchsia flowers that are just now starting to bloom. They open during the day and close back up in the shady afternoon. Rock gardeners love this plant for it's drought tolerance and spread. Evidently, you can snip off a runner, plunk it in the ground elsewhere and it will grow as long as you water it every day for a while.
I LOVE Ice Plants. We are re-planting a huge flower bed in our front yard with lots of drought tolerant plants and Ice Plants will be one of our main plants. I am really happy to hear yours grew and spread so quickly! YAY! I love your waterfall, and need to check it out again now that it's up and running for the summer! :)
