DESCRIPTION
Delosperma cooperi, commonly known as Cooper’s Hardy Ice Plant, is a mat-forming succulent admired for its dazzling, daisy-like flowers and evergreen, fleshy foliage. Blooming from late spring through summer, this plant produces a carpet of vibrant magenta-pink flowers with shimmering petals, giving it a jewel-like appearance in full sun. The flowers open fully during the day, creating a bright, eye-catching display that lasts for several months.
Native to the rocky, arid regions of South Africa, Delosperma cooperi is well adapted to dry, well-drained soils, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, slopes, or as ground cover in sunny, drought-prone areas. Its ability to thrive in harsh conditions, combined with its long blooming season, has made it a popular option for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, water-wise plants that provide continuous color throughout the warmer months.
