Livingstone Daisy Seeds – Mixed Ice Plant Flowers

A Low Carpet of Bright, Daisy-Like Flowers

Livingstone daisy, also called ice plant or ice daisy, brings vibrant color to sunny garden spaces. This seed mix produces daisy-like flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, white, and purple above low-growing foliage with a distinctive crystal-like texture.

Use it to brighten the edge of a flower bed, soften a rock garden, or fill a sunny patio planter. The low, spreading plants create a colorful display without the height of taller bedding flowers.

Starting Seeds Indoors

1. Start seeds approximately 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost.
2. Use fine, free-draining seed-starting mix. Sow thinly on the surface and press gently into contact with the mix; avoid burying these tiny seeds deeply.
3. Maintain a temperature around 70°F and keep the surface lightly moist, never waterlogged.
4. Expect germination in approximately 7–21 days under suitable conditions.
5. Grow seedlings in bright conditions. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting after frost danger has passed.

Outdoor Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Seeds may also be sown outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space established seedlings approximately 12 inches apart.

Water young plants while they establish, then avoid overwatering. Established plants tolerate dry conditions, making them useful for sunny rock gardens, dry slopes, and flower-bed edges. This flowering ground cover is not intended for foot traffic.

Containers & Small Spaces

Choose a pot or planter with drainage holes and a free-draining potting mix. Place it in full sun and allow room for the plants to spread. Check moisture regularly during establishment, but do not leave containers standing in water.

Saving Seeds

Allow seed pods to develop after flowering. Collect them when dry and reddish brown, open them to release the seeds, and store seeds in a cool, dry place. Plants may reseed in favorable conditions.

Flower colors, germination, plant size, and flowering time vary with growing conditions. Exact color proportions are not guaranteed.
