Ice Plant

Delosperma

Our featured flower of the month is a perennial ground cover called “Delosperma”.  Delosperma is a member of the Aizoaceae plant family and is also known as the “Mesa Verde Ice Plant’. Flowers are soft and appear to be iridescent with succulent leaves. The ice plant adapts well to our climate in zone 4 and is magnificent when used as a border or draped over walls and boulders.  I start my plants in garden loam or gravelly soil for plants that are four inches high and spread out up to 15 inches.  Cheers
