I have some seeds, and I was thinking of planting it under my trees in the front as a pretty groundcover. From what I've read, this plant is basically low maintainance, pretty, etc. Too good to be true? Has anyone grown it? SHould I start my seeds inside, or just broadcast them?

I have the pink version of this (mesa verde)... its an ice plant right?! Its slow growing perennial... and its a drought tolerant succulent. That's all I can tell you, mine's not blooming yet, I'll take pictures if you want when it blooms again.

Yup-ice plant. I just put some seeds in my little seed starter. I believe mine are bluish/purple. Will post pics when mine getgoing,too.

(If they are as easy and pretty as they sound, I may be in love!!!)

Update- I tried broadcasting the seeds, and got zilch. I have a few started inside that I will transplant tomarrow. Just keeping you all in the loop.
