Plant description
A vigorous mat-forming, evergreen succulent bursting with sunny, daisy-like flowers that clothe the fleshy glaucous foliage. A great choice for dry, well-drained soils in full sun, this South African plant will tolerate long periods of summer heat without supplementary water once established.
Great for alpine beds, raised troughs and gravel gardens or for dry banks where little else will grow. Delosperma Golden Wonder is commonly known as Ice Plant because bladder-like hairs on the leaf surface reflect light making them sparkle like ice crystals.

How to care for Delosperma cooperi Golden Wonder ('Wowd20111') (PBR) (Wheels of Wonder Series):
Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Loosen the soil and add compost or organic matter to the planting area and backfill, watering thoroughly after planting. Ice plants prefer sandy or rocky soil and can tolerate lean conditions but avoid poorly draining soil. For container planting, use a cactus and succulent mix or add perlite for drainage.
Fertilise sparingly, if at all, and water regularly until established, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Prune dead foliage and spent flowers in spring and lightly shear back in late summer to promote growth and winter hardiness.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
