Ice Plant


Ice Plant
Delosperma cooperi/ Purple
Delosperma nubigenum / Yellow

Perennial

Size:
Height 5”
Spacing 24”

Sun: Full Sun
Water: Xeric

Blooms:All Summer
       

Landscape Use:  Ground cover for hot dry areas
                               
Comments:Purple blooms the longest.
            Yellow is evergreen and smaller.
         Hardy and reliable in Colorado’s climate.
            I am always amazed at how little water
            is needed for this plant.

Maintenance: May have some die back over the
            winter but will come back from roots.

Maximum elevation: 7500 ft.
Said to be deer resistant
