Delosperma

DELOSPERMA Amazingly drought tolerant these little mesembs will tolerate hot and dry sites that would fry most other plants and still flower like mad. Many are surprisingly cold tolerant although they do tend to melt in wet spring weather, they are easily cut and it is a simple matter to keep a backup plant on a windowsill or cold frame just in case things get too wet. Delosperma will also self-sow in the garden and any surviving scraps quickly grow back to form a good-sized plant in a single season.

Delosperma 'John Proffit'

One of the showest, the big magenta flowers keep coming more or less constantly all summer long. Some people claim it is hardy to zone 4...that may be true in the dry, Western US, but zone 6 is probably more reasonable for the East.

Delosperma congestum 'Gold Nugget'

Delosperma congestum 'Gold Nugget'

One of the very few actually hardy ice plants for us, if it has perfect winter drainage. Remember, for a lot of these succulents, it isn't the cold that kills them as much as the wet. The succulent foliage forms a tight, dense little mat almost flat to the ground, topped with quite lovely intense yellow flowers that sit right on top of the foliage. Beautiful in a rock garden or trough, great to combine with hardy cacti for a desert look. Zone 5 – Joseph
