Another ""survivor"" boasting dark green & chartreuse leaves, scalloped edges and a minty-oregano flavor, like Golden Ruffles. However, the color holds up to full sun.

Our neighbor, Mr. Johnson, a plant and train collector, gave us this beauty of carmine red, 3/4ö flowers on a carpet of emerald green, heart shaped leaves. Nearly every walk-in customer asked what it was. For months we weren't sure. After selling out, we tracked down the botanical name. Grows anywhere, including full shade, albeit with fewer flowers. Fills a 12ö hanging basket by summer's end!

We found this midget apricot version of ""Mini Yellow"" and now it's your's (well if you order it and send the bucks.) Apricot, star shaped flowers never seem to stop on this mounding succulent. Durable enough for alpine trough gardens because ""Jar Gems"" not only forgive you, they love neglect!

Chalk up another Mulberry Creek introduction. This one has the purple flowers of ""Palmiest Bridge"" with the compact, slightly fuzzy, succulent leaves of ""Mini Yellow"".

Water: Dry-Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy

We selected this seedling because of its slighty larger and distinctly brighter yellow flowers than ""Ice Plant, Mini Yellow."" Same tight little mound with flowers that stop blooming only when it is overwatered. Sounds like a ""Jar Gem"" to me.

Chianti red flowers covering 2-3"" mounds distinguish this fine ""Ice Plant"" adaptable to a miniature garden, in ground, in container or in a hanging basket with other sun lovers.
