{"product_id":"flashmob-macarena-ice-plant","title":"FlashMob™ Macarena Ice Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlashMob™ Macarena Ice Plant (Delosperma 'Macarena') is a low, evergreen groundcover that covers itself in large orange flowers with rose-red eyes from late spring into early summer. It hugs the ground at just 2 to 4 inches tall, spreads 20 to 24 inches wide in its first two years and keeps creeping outward after that. It thrives in zones 5 through 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FlashMob™ series was bred for big flowers and better cold hardiness than many older ice plants, so it grows in cooler gardens where they often struggle. The fleshy green leaves stay on all year and hold their color through winter, so the planting still looks finished long after the flowers fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it where other plants give up: a hot slope, the top of a retaining wall, a rock garden, a gravel bed or the edge of a sunny walk. It also spills nicely over the side of a patio pot or a shallow bowl. Plant a few in a group and they knit together into one solid mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun, six or more hours a day. The flowers open in bright light and close up in the evening and on cloudy days. Fast drainage is the one thing it will not do without, so choose gravelly or sandy ground that never stays wet in winter. Once established it shrugs off heat and drought with very little water, and deer tend to leave it alone. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd FlashMob™ Macarena Ice Plant to your cart for a carpet of bright orange color on your hottest, driest ground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Quart Container","offer_id":62529975812466,"sku":"23935","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/flashmob-macarena-ice-plant","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
