Delosperma sphalmanthoides

It is a beautiful succulent, considered among the most resistant to cold, as it is used to growing in nature at high altitudes, among the alpine rocks. It consists of tiny fleshy and tapered leaves, similar to fingers, of a bluish-green color, which do not exceed 2 centimeters in height but rather tend to develop large cushions of leaflets, facing upwards. The real highlight of this "jewel of ice" appears in early spring, when large magenta flowers bloom that often cover almost the entire plant, creating lively expanses even where other specimens could never survive!
