Sandy or gravelly is best. Water during the first few weeks after planting, then only in long dry spells. Don't feed it. Ice plants tolerate cold far better than they tolerate wet. Heavy clay, low spots and soggy spring soil are the usual problems in our region. A slope, raised bed or rock wall helps a lot. Keep thick mulch and fallen leaves off it over winter. There's no cutting back. In spring, remove any pieces that didn't make it through winter. Rooted stems can be lifted from the edge to start new patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eDelosperma cooperi\u003c\/em\u003e is a South African succulent and one of the hardiest ice plants for cold climates.
