Delosperma pruinosum, commonly known as the Frost Hardy Ice Plant, is a vibrant and low-growing succulent that offers year-round visual interest with its shimmering foliage and dazzling flowers. Native to South Africa.

Growth Habit: Delosperma pruinosum forms dense, mat-like clusters that spread quickly across the ground. It typically reaches heights of just 2 to 4 inches but can spread several feet in width.

Leaf Characteristics: The leaves are small, green, and cylindrical, tightly packed together to form a lush carpet.They typically have succulent, fleshy leaves that are cylindrical or triangular in shape.

Flowers: This ice plant is renowned for its profuse blooming habit. During the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall, it produces abundant, daisy-like flowers that cover the plant in a spectacular display.

Ground Cover: Excellent for covering bare patches in gardens or stabilizing slopes and banks.

Rock Gardens: Perfect for rock gardens due to its low-growing habit and ability to fill in gaps between stones.

Drought Tolerance: Once established, Delosperma pruinosum is extremely drought-resistant, requiring minimal supplemental watering.

Low Maintenance: Needs little care beyond occasional watering during prolonged dry spells and yearly trimming back of spent flowers and foliage to encourage new growth.
