Plant description
Fluorescent flowers smother the evergreen foliage of this ground covering perennial from late spring to mid-autumn. It provides unbeatable colour for sunny spots, and it will take drought in its stride once it is settled in. That means it is really low maintenance too!

How to care for Delosperma cooperi Jewel of Desert Grenade (PBR) (Jewel of Desert 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.
