    My friend calls this "ice plant", but it isn't the succulent ground cover that I'm familiar with by that name. Any help identifying is greatly appreciated. :) Suzanne

    Could be cineraria Suzanne but difficult to say without a photo. Is it possible you could post a photo?

    I am pretty certain it might be Stachys byzantina(Bunnies ears, Lamb's tongue). Fully hardy perennial.
