Nursery contributed plant descriptions

You know, we could probably include "aff" in the names of almost all our delosperma... Proper ID is such a nightmare with this genus. What we've got is very dense, congested foliage, pretty yellow flowers. Seems to be one of the hardier ones we grow, though we'll need a couple more winters before I call it actually hardy. Zone 6, maybe?
