Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Hardy ice plant is a flowering ground cover with glossy, succulent foliage and colorful frilled flowers. It thrives in poor soils, isn’t bothered by deer, requires no pruning, and goes without constant watering. Here, we’ll show you how to grow and care for ice plants and answer frequently asked questions about this versatile ground cover.
It’s too early to see if this recently planted iceplant thrives but it arrived in requested time and in small but healthy condition. I placed it in the sunniest spot in the garden and it seems to be doing well. The beach sand dunes of my childhood had colorful ice plant as far as the eye could see. Now that I live in South Carolina, I just wanted a little of this precious plant in my garden. I expect by next summer it will meander throughout my garden. Delosperma requires little water and once established, little maintenance. I give it four stars for now to see that it establishes well and thrives.
