Ice Plant Delosperma cooperi 'Jewel of Desert Peridot'


 
Forms a low carpet or mat of succulent, green leaves bearing bright sunny yellow flowers with a white inner halo surrounding a yellow center.

The hardy Ice Plants are native to South Africa but are amazingly hardy in North America, provided they are grown in the sun in very well-drained soil. This forms a low carpet or mat of succulent, green leaves bearing loads of starry flowers. Petals are bright sunny yellow with a white inner halo surrounding a yellow centre. Part of the new Jewel of Desert series, these should bloom longer than typical ice plants. A great choice for hot, dry areas and excellent in the rock garden or wall and for edging the front of a border. Attractive to butterflies. Drought tolerant once established. Where winter drainage is poor, consider growing this as a summer blooming annual. USPP#23566: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
