Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Mesa Verde iceplant is a succulent groundcover with salmon-pink flowers. It produces a low-growing mat of fleshy light green leaves that grows well in sunny, dry locations. The flowers are an iridescent, almost metallic, salmon-pink with light yellow centers.
Mesa Verde is a great choice when looking for a drought-tolerant plant that won't get wider than 12-18 inches. Its unusual flower color can also be a great asset.
Mesa Verde iceplant has been a good performer at the Xeriscape Garden. The leaves are lighter green and it doesn't spread as vigorously as Table Mountain iceplant. There are several long-lived patches that have survived many winters, including one that is planted in wood chip mulch.
No maintenance is required, except raking debris off the plant as needed.
