Delosperma (Ice Plant)
Color Name: Granita Raspberry
One of the best Hardy Ice Plants! It boasts of large flowers and incredible flower coverage. Incredibly bright, "retina burning" color and a standout choice for a groundcover for your sunny garden location. The extremely large, 1" flowers are raspberry red. Newest flowers are rose and mature to fuchsia with rose tips.
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.
Growing Tips: This plant grows best in well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet in winter. Planting it on a slope will help provide these conditions. Due to its succulent nature, Ice Plant is very drought tolerant. Grow it in a hot, sunny location.
