One of the best Hardy Ice Plants we've seen in our trials for its 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, 1½" flowers are raspberry red. Newest flowers are rose and mature to fuchsia with rose tips. Discovered by John Stireman and introduced through High Country Gardens. From Plant Select®.
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.
