Product Details

Highlights

Trailing Ice Plant (Delosperma cooperi): A beautiful and robust ground cover plant. The leaves are succulent in nature and have trailing stems. It has a long bloom period (mid-summer to mid-autumn) and showy, magenta blooms that open each day and close at night. It makes a great rock garden plant in well-drained soil. Cold, winter weather causes the leaves to turn a dusty purple.

Delosperma are easy, frost hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Delosperma can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.
