Ice Plant

$10.00

Meet the architectural wonder of the succulent world: Corpuscularia lehmannii. Often nicknamed "Ice Plant" (for its icy-blue coloration and chunky, cube-like leaves) or Coega Hardfig, this South African native brings a unique, geometric structure to any container garden or sunny windowsill.

Distinctive Appearance

Unlike common rosettes, this succulent offers a fascinating, multi-dimensional look:

  • Stacked Foliage: The star of the show is its thick, fleshy leaves. They are distinctly triangular or three-angled, and grow in opposing, tightly packed pairs that stack up the stem like little jade blocks.

  • Cool-Toned Color: The leaves sport a beautiful, smooth blue-green or gray-green hue, which intensifies with bright light.

  • Trailing Habit: As the plant matures, it forms dense, low-spreading clumps, with stems that can gracefully trail over the edge of a pot or hanging basket, making it an excellent accent plant.

  • Showy Blooms: In the spring and summer, a healthy plant will reward you with large, butter-yellow, daisy-like flowers that open in the morning sun and close in the evening.

All potted plants are local pickup only. Shipped plants will be bare root (no pot or soil).

Corpuscularja lehmannii

Beginner-Friendly Care

  • Light: Loves full sun to bright light.7 Place it on a sunny windowsill or in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun daily to maintain its compact shape and color.8

  • Watering: Like its arid-climate cousins, the Corpuscularia lehmannii is extremely drought-tolerant.9 Use the "soak and dry" method: wait until the leaves look slightly wrinkled or the soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly.10

  • Soil & Drainage: Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot.11 Plant in a coarse, gritty succulent or cactus mix.

  • Hardiness: While named 'Ice Plant,' it is not frost-hardy and should be protected from freezing temperatures (keep above 12$25^\circ\text{F}$ or 13$-4^\circ\text{C}$).14

Whether used in a modern planter, a mixed succulent arrangement, or a xeriscape garden (in warm zones), the Corpuscularia lehmannii is a resilient and visually captivating plant that’s easy to love.
