Variegated Ice Plant - Extreme Variegation
Corpuscularia Lehmannii Variegata – Extreme Variegation
Corpuscularia lehmannii variegata, also known as the Variegated Ice Plant, is an extraordinary succulent with roots in the biodiverse Eastern Cape region of South Africa. This cultivar is a stunning example of extreme variegation, with foliage that has little green chlorophyll, giving it a striking bright yellow hue accented by creamy-yellow and grey-green tones. These fleshy, triangular leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along ascending stems, creating a sculptural, geometric appearance.
This compact plant typically grows to about 20 cm in height and can spread up to 30 cm in width. Its daisy-like yellow flowers appear during the warmer months of spring and summer, reaching up to 4 cm in diameter. The blooms add a vibrant splash of colour that contrasts beautifully with the unique variegated foliage.
This extreme variegated form is not only eye-catching but also hardy. It thrives in well-draining, gritty soils and full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. Avoid overwatering, as it is prone to root rot in soggy conditions. The plant is drought-resistant and well-suited to Australian climates that mimic its native arid environment.
Easy to propagate, Corpuscularia lehmannii variegata can be grown from cuttings, divisions, or seeds. A special feature of this offering is a companion planting of the standard green form, providing a striking visual contrast. The interplay of bright yellow variegation with the classic green foliage makes this pair an exceptional addition to any succulent collection.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
