Delosperma nubigenum (Hardy Yellow Ice Plant) is a mat-forming, evergreen succulent with bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, 3/4 in. across (2 cm). Blooming continuously from late  spring to fall, the blossoms are produced in such quantities that they literally cover the foliage of closely-packed, fleshy green leaves. The foliage turns bronze in winter. The intensity of the flower color, combined with the long blooming season and evergreen foliage, reinforce the ornamental interest of this plant. Perfect choice as a groundcover or for rock gardens.

• Grows up to 3 in. tall (7 cm) and spreads to 9-18 in. (22-45 cm) or more.
• Thrives in full sun in dry to medium, well-drained soils. Good drainage is essential to survival. If conditions are too wet, it will suffer and grow poorly. Water sparsely during the growing season. Good heat and drought tolerance.
• Deer resistant but attractive to butterflies.
• Easy to grow, Delosperma is a good choice for areas of the garden that are sunny and dry. Excellent addition to border fronts, rock gardens, coastal gardens, banks and slopes or naturalized areas. Delosperma makes a lovely groundcover and is perfect for containers.
• No serious insect or disease issues.
• Propagate by breaking off short sections of stem which root easily.
• Native to South Africa, Lesotho.
