HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow ice plant seeds in late fall, pressing them lightly into the surface of the soil since they need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30-60 days before planting; keep the soil moist until germination, which usually takes place within 14-21 days. This seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring; transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last chance of frost.
Growing: Water seedlings until they become established, but do not overwater. Mature plants tolerate drought well and make an excellent choice for dry slopes, rock gardens, or other dry and sunny locations. These plants may reseed themselves in favorable growing conditions.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the flowers have faded, seed pods will form. As soon as the pods dry and turn a reddish brown color, harvest them. Break open the pods to remove the seeds. Store ice plant seeds in a cool, dry place.

Bought these iceplant seeds for my hill which was recently cleared. I put them down mixed with sand and spread through the air, 6000 seeds or something. Will be watering daily.
So pretty
I can't wait for these to bloom!
Ground cover seeds
I'm looking forward to planting these ice plant seeds on a bank that needs ground cover. I love Everwilde packaging. I reordered marigold seeds that I purchased 3 years ago and germinated successfully for the third year. Quality seeds and a great price,
Can't wait to see what these are
I purchased 3 seed packets last year and was so pleased that I ordered many more. I can't wait for the weekend to plant.
