Compact Yellow Iceplant
Compact yellow iceplant is a small, mat-forming groundcover with succulent leaves that stay green through winter. Small, bright, shiny yellow flowers with a distinctive white eye are borne in mid- to late spring (and sporadically after that). The flowers can completely cover the plant.
Its small size makes it best suited to rock gardens. It is very tolerant of drought. This plant grows best when planted in well-drained soil and mulched with pea gravel to prevent the crown from rotting.
