hardy iceplant
Description
Delosperma lavisiae, commonly known as the Trailing Ice Plant, is a low-growing succulent, celebrated for its vibrant flowers and trailing habit. This plant produces small, fleshy leaves that are often a vibrant green color. Its most striking feature is its profusion of daisy-like flowers, typically in shades of pink, purple, or magenta. The flowers bloom abundantly, creating a carpet of color. Delosperma lavisiae thrives in well-draining soil and requires full sun exposure. Water sparingly, as it is drought-tolerant. This plant is a good choice for rock gardens and slopes, and is very easy to propagate by cuttings.
