Fire Spinner Ice Plant

This plant requires full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Without enough light, the plant will become leggy and produce fewer blooms.

The Fire Spinner Ice Plant is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8. As an evergreen succulent, it will keep its foliage year-round in these climates, though it may need protection if you live in the colder end of that range.

Once established, this plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers low water. You should only water it when the soil has dried out completely, as it is susceptible to root rot if left in consistently wet or soggy conditions.

Yes, its dense, mat-forming habit makes it an excellent ground cover. While it helps crowd out some weeds, you should still clear the area thoroughly before planting to give it the best chance to establish its spread.

Yes, the Fire Spinner Ice Plant is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, deer generally avoid this succulent due to its texture and taste.

It has a moderate growth rate and will eventually spread to about two to three feet wide. If you are planting multiple specimens to cover a large area, space them about 18 to 24 inches apart to allow them to knit together over time.
