After seeing your other video about this plant and how to plant/take care of it. I subbed and liked. I'm from North Central Arizona. We have numerous snows each year. I have dogs and cats. Snows melt quickly and our winter days can be 40's to 60's. So this plant sounds great. And having lived in California, I admit, I do miss all the color from Ice plant. A great alternative as you said.

Yup. I’ve seen the article. Nonsense. Some of the first installations here in Southern California have been installed 9+ years ago now and going strong looking great. I’m assuming the article writer was potentially getting this confused with either the parent plant, Ruschia lineolata, or Delosperma (Ice Plant). looks similar, but not the same. Many Delosperma varieties get woody after a few years if not pruned.

There’s some misinformation floating around out there about Ruschia including the above mentioned, hence why the video was done. There’s confusion about this plant versus Delosperma, which does in fact get woody after 3-4 years. Delosperma looks similar to Ruschia and is also in the same family, Aizoaceae, which is why it can be confusing, but does not have the same attributes and is a different genus of plant. Ruschia has been installed in many projects around So Cal which have well surpassed the 3-4 year mark. It’s only going to get more popular as water restrictions tighten, especially in LA County. Definitely do your due diligence to see if it’s something that’s right for your project.

Congrats on the new purchase!! 🎉 🎉🎉 To answer your first question, yes it does attract bees, but generally not a ton. All the weeds, grass etc would have to be thoroughly eradicated first. Typically, rototilling and soil amendment is also necessary for longevity and health of the Ruschia. An automatic irrigation system is also extremely beneficial so you are not having to schedule hand watering. You can use either overhead spray, or drip line.

It bloomed once in the fall of 2020, which was lovely, but has not ever bloomed again. The front of our home faces South. So the East side is still lovely green as the afternoon sun gets blocked by the house. The front garden and that on the other side of the driveway that get full all-day and West sun have faded and turned yellow. :( And there's actually a couple of dead patches where it didn't grow at all. I am so sad and after all the hard work I did. Had so many compliments from neighbors initially, but I'm embarrassed how it looks now Any suggestions? It's on a drip system and all gets watered at the same time as the East side of the house. Oh, I did fertilize it once after I planted it in 2020. Thinking about doing that again but maybe I should have done that in the spring? Would appreciate any and all suggestions to bring it back to it's lush green. Thank you!

While I cannot release any addresses, I drive by frequently and notice these projects looking great. This is first hand information from our company as opposed to some writers misinformation or one off experience, possibly from lack of knowledge or incorrect care of the plant.

Thanks for watching the vids! Unfortunately Ruschia would only work as an annual in PA. I might recommend a variety of Creeping thyme. Those tend to do well in lower zones. It won’t need mowing, but they can attract bees when in bloom. Another option would be Micro Clover. However it has an invasive quality to it. Everything with plants is a give and take.

@@BudgetPlants Thanks for the reply, and for providing suggested alternatives to the Ruschia. I'm bummed that I can't use it, but glad I asked before purchasing and installing it. Thanks for all the great garden tips!

it seems to spread really slowly. Is there a way to make it fill in faster?

A balanced 5-5-5, or 10-10-10 (NKP) fertilizer will help with fill in time.

I have been trying to do some research to find the answer, but havent had much luck. Do you know if Ruschia Nana would survive/thrive in Florida or is it too wet here?

Hey! Yes we’ve had test cases in FL and it does well. There are of course microclimates within the state that may pose problems, but if the soil is very well drained, I believe it should do fine.

hi there I really love this stuff, I have seen in a yard before, but never knew the name or was able to find out. In order to fill a big area front lawn with this....will I have to remove the previous grass, or will it just fill in once I place some plugs of this?

Hey Karin! So yes, all grass/weeds will have to be removed and a thorough tilling of the soil done. The better the prep the better the results :)

In a vid from last yr, you mentioned it doesn't appreciate overwatering. Does that include semi frequent Spring rains? Zone 7a~b

Generally speaking, rainfall is fine. Continuous overwatering from irrigation would create a yellowing of the foliage, and ultimately might lead to root rot.

I've been searching for a perfect ground cover for our property. I live in a high altitude area here in Central New Mexico, Zone 7A. Winter is short with minimal snow but it can get really cold a few times during the season. I wonder if I can keep them alive during the winter by covering them with burlap. I'm really interested in this plant!

Hey! So yes, I would tend to believe Ruschia would be fine if covered, so long as air flow was still present. It would worth a small trial section.

I am in Cody, WY 82414 and would love to replace my lawn with this. I know in a previous video, you said it was good down to 20 F. We do have several weeks per year that can drop to 0 F. Windchill can go down to -12 F. Will this work in our planting zone? Will it just go dormant or does it die all together? Thank you in advance for any response.
