Anyone in cold/wet climates growing Delosperma Hardy Ice Plant?
Comments (5)I use ordinary commercial potting soil, - peat/pearlite/this and that - and if ice plant gets started in my containers, it can turn into a weed, choking out what ever else I'm trying to grow. busy pulling it out by the handful these days after it overwintered in the greenhouse. pretty stuff, in other environments.

Comments (2)What is brilliant about both of these pubs is that they define hardiness with specifics. David has a number of other, scientific rose pubs for anyone interested in where rose science is today. The Rosa x hybrida paper in the google scholar search below is one of the finest review papers available at present.

Comments (3)mcharris, I have some yucccas. I tried an agave but it proved to be too wet in winter and didn't make it. I may try another agave, because I have since made a xeric garden that is mulched with crushed stone, and this has kept a lot of my cacti and other succulents dry in winter. Amccour, I have the Kniphofia, the red hot poker I mentioned above. I wanted to see how it grew and it's doing well, so I may get another one, probably the yellow flowered one. Thanks to you both for the responses. Growing cacti and succulents in New England is pretty challenging but I have had a lot of success and I love trying new things....See Morejasmine for cold climate...here is a link..
Comments (1)Shoot - still won't work for me. Last winter we were down to -40F a couple of times here in northern MN. But your post did raise my hopes for a moment. I am trying a zone 4 wisteria. I bought it 3 years ago, moved it to the new place 2 years ago. It grows abundantly, no blooms yet....See MoreMarie Tulin
