Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Delosperma 'Red Mountain Flame' produces masses of firey red flowers with magenta and white circling the yellow stamens all summer long 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.
