Add item to quote to see pricing

Delosperma nubigenum is an exceptionally hardy perennial succulent, better known as the Ice Plant. Its beauty lies in its low-growing, ground-covering demeanor, framing landscapes with a lush coterie of succulent leaves that display a fascinating transformation from a lush green to vivid red, when bathed abundantly in sunlight. Between late spring and early summer, it unfurls a pageantry of radiant yellow, daisy-like blooms, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst also enticing pollinators. Originating from the mountainous regions of South Africa, this plant boasts a robust resilience to drought, making it a veritable addition to xeriscapes or rock gardens. It demonstrates a flourish when placed in full sun to light shade locations and thrives in well-drained soils with low to moderate fertility. With its potential to immerse your garden-scape in a symphony of colour and texture, the Ice Plant artfully marries functionality with visual charm.
