Zn 5. Hot pink flowers with white centers.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Delosperma 'Amethyst' blooms have rich glowing magenta-pink flowers with white centres around yellow stamens. Expect flowers from late spring straight through to fall. 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. Deer resistant.
