Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delosperma dyeri 'Red Mountain' has red and orange flowers all summer on shiny, deep green foliage. Very low-growing to about three inches. Ice plants are long-blooming and carefree succulent mat-forming perennials similar to sedums that thrive in heat, drought and nearly any well-drained soil. Very hardy but should be protected from winter wet either with very well drained soil or in the rainshadow of a house or other structure. Great in containers.

Blazing scarlet flowers are a nice addition to the ice plant color palette. 2" wide x 18" across.

This is way too hot to be called an Ice Plant. Scarlet flowers scorch the foliage in summer and blaze with nary a care. Great sidewalk edger, rockery or container plant especially for those of you who delude yourselves into believing you really will water your containers. It's xeric.
