Delospermas

 
 

Delosperma  (del-o-SPUR-ma)  Hardy Ice Plant

These South African succulents thrive in lean, well drained soils in full sun. The daisy shaped flowers need sunlight to open. Plants root along the stems and will form a thick mat in a short time. Delosperma cooperi has bright purple daisy flowers, on and off, summer and fall. This is one of the larger flowered species and the hardiest we know.

Delosperma unknown? came to us labeled Delosperma ashtonii, a plant I’d grown before and liked. As it grew I definitely knew it wasn’t D. ashtonii. The flowers are very much in color and form like Delosperma cooperi, bright purple-magenta daisies, but the plant habit is very prostrate, only 1-2” tall even in bloom. I’d have left it in the garden by itself as just another unnamed orphan if it hadn’t turned out to be such a darn good plant. It’s made it through the last 2 winters here beautifully - but the main thing is the flowering. It starts here in  late March and by late April the blooms are just a solid mass of purple that gradually lessens by mid summer - but as I write this in late November there are still a few flowers on the plant. In 2 seasons it’s spread to form a solid mat about 4’ round. Definitely recommended.
