Common name hardy ice plant Family aizoaceae Life cycle perennial (Z6-9) Flowers pink Size 1" Light sun Cultural notes drought-tolerant Forms a low-growing mat of succulent foliage, with bright pink ray flowers from summer into late fall.

It's possible that the mother plants indeed succumb, and what returns are seedlings. I should probably relocate it to the rock garden, and observe more closely...

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: front perennial border
