Looking to heat things up in your garden this spring and summer? This hot, NEW ice plant variety pairs fiery purple with orange for a one of kind bi-color flower that covers shiny, apple green, succulent foliage.

Fire Spinner blooms heavy in the spring and continues to flower on and off in summer until fall. As cooler weather sets in, the foliage turns a reddish-purple. This easy to grow, 2 to 3 inch groundcover adores the heat and thrives in full sun and well drained sandy soil. Perfect in rock gardens, borders, along walkways, in raised beds and in water-wise landscapes. Plant in mass for real show! Set your garden ablaze with this season with Fire Spinner Ice Plant!

Associate helped me pick the right planter, fertilized him, and topped with decorative rocks. All for an incredibly reasonable price and caring smiles.
