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.
I purchased 26 ice plants in a few varieties and planted them in August and September. I also planted some Sweet Woodruff and they didn't do as well because of the heat.
I lost some of the ice plants, probably due to deer, but for the most part they seem to be growing well. There is a lot of erosion on the slope north of our pool and I am hopeful that these will cover the area next Spring and help solve that problem.
One of my better purchases from Great Garden Plants up to this point.
The plants came package well and all looked healthy. Was amazed at how fast they got blooms
My 2-ice plant arrived extremely dry. But these are succulents, and they plumped are up after a good drink. I hope this next shipment is in better condition as they are not succulents.

This company is so weird. They put a bunch of rotting, dead plants in a box and mailed it to me.
