Yellow Ice Plant
Delosperma congesta
4-inch pot
 
An excellent, spreading, evergreen ground cover option for rock gardens, parking strips, rock walls - basically anywhere sedums or succulents would thrive. It is evergreen, drought tolerant, low maintenance, and deer resistant. Yellow, daisy-like blooms start in late spring and can continue throughout the summer. These delicate blooms shine best when the sun is shining on them, and will close at night and during rain.
 
Very well-draining, gritty soil is vital. Full sun is ideal, but a few hours of shade is tolerable. Though drought tolerant, all species would prefer regular watering during the blooming season. Use a light hand when watering however, as overwatering can lead to rot. Stop watering in fall to harden plants off for winter.
