Delosperma - Ice Plant

Delosperma or Hardy Ice Plant is a perennial succulent.This is a great groundcover for rock gardens or for slopes. It takes heat well, and needs very little water to keep looking good. This plant is hardy for zones 5-11. Their bloom time is from late spring through summer.
The ice plant needs full sun and well drained soil, and watered when completely dry. Too frequent watering may cause the roots to rot.
Whether grown in containers or in the landscape, this is a great plant to grow.
