Jewel of Desert Opal Ice Plant

Jewel of Desert Opal Ice Plant (Delosperma 'Jewel of Desert Opal') is a fantastic, drought-hardy and long-flowering addition to the American gardener's palette. Originating in South Africa, these charming, low-growing succulents will liven up your garden from spring to fall (and right through the year in warm climates) with fuschia-pink blooms. Its best bloom time is spring, but it's quite happy to give you an encore in late summer with slightly less spectacular but nevertheless showy flushes of flowers in between. The creeping, succulent foliage is neat, and apart from looking fabulous in the garden, it cascades beautifully over the rims of pots.
