Ice Plant Mesembryanthemum Mixed Color Flower Seeds

Sparkling, Jewel-Toned Blooms That Shimmer in the Sun

Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), also known as Livingstone Daisy, is one of the most dazzling and unique flowering plants you can grow. Its daisy-like blooms come in a spectacular range of vivid colours — magenta, orange, yellow, pink, white, and bicolour — with petals that have a distinctive crystalline, glistening texture that catches the light like tiny ice crystals.

Low-growing, drought-tolerant, and incredibly easy to grow, Ice Plant is perfect for Indian rock gardens, sunny borders, pots, and ground cover. It thrives in full sun and poor, sandy soil — the more sun it gets, the more it blooms.

Sowing Tips

Sow seeds in seed trays or directly in well-draining, sandy soil. Press seeds lightly onto the surface — they need light to germinate, so do not cover deeply. Keep in a warm, sunny location. Ice Plant dislikes overwatering and waterlogged soil — water sparingly once established. Blooms open fully in bright sunlight and close at night or on cloudy days.
