Positive palmbob On Mar 22, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Great looking iceplant for Warmer areas of Southern California (slightly frost tender). Nearly white, but usually a blue-white coloration. Can rub off the tomentum and it's a blue-green beneath. CAn be a bit invasive, but very easy to control but just cutting it back.
