Notes
'Neon' ice plant (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Neon') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything.
