Description
2" tall x 24" wide. Formerly sold under the name of Delosperma congestum. This is an outstanding ground cover and rock garden plant recommended for its vigorous carpeting growth habit. The foliage is succulent and evergreen, with a bright red winter color. Blooming for a month in late spring, the plant covers itself with hundreds of yellow many petaled blooms. Not as heat tolerant as Delosperma cooperi because it comes from colder, higher mountains in South Africa. Excellent for use in areas like Vail, CO and other mountain towns. (cutting propagated) Cannot tolerate foot traffic. Good for Firescaping
