Color Name: Red Mountain® Flame
An outstanding Hardy Ice Plant that excelled in our trials because of its large flower size and incredible flower coverage. Large 2", deep orange red flowers with a narrow pink halo at the white centers. The perfect choice for a drought resistant groundcover for your rock garden.
Delospermas are highly heat and drought tolerant, making them a good choice for waterwise landscapes. They thrive in rock gardens, on slopes, in containers, and in the landscape.
