Delosperma cooperi / ICE PLANT
Delosperma cooperi, commonly known as Ice Plant, is a fast-growing, low-spreading succulent that produces vibrant, magenta-pink flowers in late spring to early summer, resembling a "shimmering" effect, which gives it the "ice" reference. The plant has thick, fleshy, green to reddish leaves that store water, making it highly drought-tolerant once established. Ice Plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, groundcovers, or along hot, dry slopes. It is also attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to the landscape. With its bright, showy flowers and low-maintenance nature, Delosperma cooperi is perfect for gardeners looking to add vibrant color and texture to arid or low-water areas.
