Heat, drought and salt tolerant, Delosperma congestum ‘White Nugget’ (Ice Plant) is a mat-forming, evergreen succulent with a profusion of small bright white daisy-like flowers in late spring to late summer. The blossoms are produced in such quantities that they literally cover the lush foliage of glossy, fleshy, nearly cylindrical 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.
