For gardeners in frost-free climates, 'Fred Ives' makes a lush, colorful ground cover. In cooler regions, it can be brought indoors to overwinter near a sunny window or under a grow light. Be sure your plant has well-draining pots and soil and that it gets watered deeply after the soil dries completely.
This vigorous grower is a great place for beginners to start. It produces lots of new rosette offsets and has a high success rate of propagation from stem cuttings and leaves (more info). Each summer, the rosettes can also send up tall bloom stalks with tiny, star-shaped, yellow blossoms.
