Highlights
Delosperma Hot Cakes® 'Fig Fusion' PPAF: A vigorous, tidy ground cover succulent for outdoors planting with fleshy, textured leaves. The real highlight is the flower show it puts on from spring to fall. Its large, composite blooms are a vibrant purple with a white center. They open each day and close at night through the bloom season. And on top of all that, they smell like vanilla!
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.

• Staff Answer
You can, but you certainly don't have to. Eventually, the spent blooms will fall off on their own.

They might nibble on Delosperma a little bit but they certainly won't like it. They're definitely rabbit resistant.
• Staff Answer
These are usually available from mid spring through the summer.
• Staff Answer
That someone is correct! This plant is commonly called ice plant, and this is where the common names of plants can be confusing and unhelpful. Not only are many plants in the genus Delosperma called ice plant, but many plants in that whole family, Aizoaceae, are called ice plant. This includes the, very invasive, Carpobrotus edulis.
It also doesn't help that many plants have common names that are similar to "ice plant" but are in totally different families, like the parasitic snow plant and the hauntingly beautiful frostweed.

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

• Staff Answer
Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
• Staff Answer
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
• Staff Answer
Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.
HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS
- Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
- Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
- Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…
