The foliage, said to make this plant a real winner, is deep green, almost succulent looking and extremely shinny. Delosperma has a plant spread of 12-24” and a height of 4”. For best results, plant Delosperma ‘Hardy Ice Plant’ in a sunny area, with some afternoon shade, with well- drained soil.
It does prefer dry and sandy soil and does not like wet soil in the winter. Hot conditions keep the flowers blooming most of the summer and it requires little to no care. Delosperma looks great as a ground cover in a rock garden or in front of a perennial border.
