As with all Ice Plants, Next Level Red needs to be planted in soil that has excellent drainage. Less is more when it comes to watering this plant: It is very drought-tolerant and prefers to be on the dry side. Planted in a container, it will trail beautifully. It also works well in garden areas that will get six or more hours of direct sunlight each day. Perennial in zones noted here.

A new series of Ice Plant varieties, the Next Level series promises a longer bloom period for the colorful and already-reliable plants we love in borders, baskets, and rock gardens. And with four times the flower coverage of most Ice Plants, Next Level Red will create a display with incredible impact. Ice Plants get their common name from the ice crystal-like formations on their succulent foliage, sparkly in the right light. But with layered blooms appearing on the Next Level plants, you'll have to wait to spy the foliage. Next Level Red combines red, orange, and yellow on its flowers which spread on semi-trailing stems. You'll enjoy the bold and bright beauty of this plant for a good LONG season, spring through fall.
