Synonyms

Delosperma nubigenum 'T1854'

A compact, mat-forming ice plant prized for its exceptionally large, vivid violet-purple flowers, which open mid-morning and close at night. Blooming from spring through summer, it forms a colourful, drought-tolerant carpet ideal for rock gardens, borders, containers, and sunny slopes. Plants grow up to 15?cm tall and 30?cm wide, with succulent green foliage that remains evergreen in mild climates. Heat-tolerant, deer-resistant, and thriving in full sun with well-drained, gravelly soil, it offers outstanding performance in hot, dry settings.
