Delosperma

DELOSPERMA Amazingly drought tolerant these little mesembs will tolerate hot and dry sites that would fry most other plants and still flower like mad. Many are surprisingly cold tolerant although they do tend to melt in wet spring weather, they are easily cut and it is a simple matter to keep a backup plant on a windowsill or cold frame just in case things get too wet. Delosperma will also self-sow in the garden and any surviving scraps quickly grow back to form a good-sized plant in a single season.
