| I loved all of the iceplants I saw growing on sides of the road and on the beach cliffs in San Diego, and would really love to try to grow some here, but I know it's far more arid and we have greater temperature swings....
What do you all think? I live in USDA 8/Sunset 11.

| Absolutely! There are many species of iceplant which will grow in your climate --- they just need more supplemental water, but are still quite xeric, and rapid growers. There must be lots of nursery resources in Las Vegas, and loads of on-line ones as well. You probably want to avoid the more cold adapted ones from mountainous regions of South Africa, since they have less heat tolerance. |
