Perfect for hot, dry sites, Delosperma Hotcakes® 'Fig Fusion' (Ice Plant) is a showy evergreen succulent with a profusion of bright violet flowers with a light pearl center from early summer to early fall. The blossoms are produced in such quantities that they literally cover the lush foliage of fleshy, blue-green leaves. The intensity of the flower color, combined with the long blooming season and evergreen foliage, reinforce the ornamental interest of this plant. A wonderful groundcover and an indispensable element of waterwise landscapes.
