Description:

Wonderful succulent plant that does not reach considerable heights, but rather tends to develop horizontally, creating large expanses of conical and thin bluish-green leaflets, making it perfect as a ground cover plant for rock gardens and any flowerbed with strongly draining soil. The real strong point of this species of Delosperma is the flowering: in addition to being really abundant, its flowers remain open for a long time, covering the entire plant with graceful daisy-like inflorescences of a beautiful bright colors from late spring to winter! It is therefore a perfect plant to adorn outdoor spaces that do not require frequent care, since it is an extremely drought-resistant species (which is why it is considered a "jewel of the desert"), easy to grow and, above all, to flower.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

They are very resistant to the most extreme temperatures: they grow comfortably in hot climates and resist the temperatures even up to -5 °C only if the soil is dry.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, and suspend watering completely in winter.

The best soil is a well draining one, for example formed by a mix of peat and pumice so that water does not stagnate.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
