Sow Livingstone Daisy seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Or, sow Ice Plant ground cover seed outdoors after danger of frost has passed. If started indoors, transplant when seedlings are 2 inches tall and space them 12 inches apart. Ice Plant care includes trimming any spent blooms to tidy the appearance. An application of fertilizer during the growing season is helpful. Watch for slug or snail damage.
