Ice Plant

Nubigenum Delosperma produces pretty, bright yellow blooms throughout a light green, leafy foliage. The perennial, Delosperma, is commonly referred to as Ice Plant and is a succulent. The Delosperma will spread over and around rocks, does well in full sun, under trees in the shade, and will gracefully flow over the sides of containers and baskets. The Delosperma is most desired for its rapid growth rate, low maintenance and beautiful growth habit. Although it prefers full sun, the plant will still prosper with some shade as well.
