Jewel of Desert Topaz Ice Plant

Aptly named Jewel of Desert Topaz Ice Plant (Delosperma 'Jewel of Desert Topaz') with its glistening amber and white blooms is rapidly becoming a gardening favorite in the US. It thrives in dry conditions, rewarding neglect with masses of beautiful blooms from late spring until the first frosts. In warmer areas, it will even bloom into the winter. This low growing succulent ground cover is a fast grower, but it's never invasive. Use it in rockeries, water smart gardens or containers, and don't forget to check out the other colors in the 'Jewel of the Desert' range.
