Best Flowering Perennials - Delosperma cooperi - Ice plant

Delosperma cooperi, the Ice plant, forms spreading carpets of succulent cylindical leaves and is covered with vivid, fluorescent daisy-like flowers for most of the summer. It loves the sun and is perfect for hot, dry conditions, making it ideal for seaside areas, or rocky, gravelly sites where erosion control is important. It will scramble between rocks and down over the edges of raised and container plantings and is useful in roof gardens or city plantings. Hardy to Zone 6. Video by David Wilson, Overdevest Nurseries

Thank you for taking the trouble to mention this😄. We agree, it is a perfect plant for sandy, seaside soils and sun soaked conditions👏 and now that creative plant breeders have greatly expanded the range, there's lots of exciting color forms 👌that will thrive there too. If you search through this channel or click this link: studio.kzbin.info/door/gfi7rt7jLrh4Hg01wKScdwvideos you will find several videos on the "Hot Cakes" & "Jewel of the Desert" ranges that we grow. ✔💚

The ones we grow are flat carpeting spreaders

How many times a week we should put water and to avoid frm insects wat precaution plz.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Water them well when you plant them, and then (depending upon weather and where you live) about once a week until they get established, then they WILL NOT need watering - they are very sun & drought tolerant once they get rooted in and growing in their new position.

@@OverdevestNurseries do you sell plants online? if you do, do you ship to another state?

[@OverdevestNurseries]

@@mariaulfah6003 We do not sell our plants online. We prefer instead to make then available through a network of Garden Centers where you can see and pick them yourself…. and get on the spot guidance and LOCAL support from experienced experts. Most of these places are family owned outfits that know your area, know what does well, and are ready to help you with practical down to earth information that you could never get online. These garden centers are located throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States - so, I suggest you go visit THE BEST GARDEN CENTERS near you and you should be able to find a nice selection there, alternatively, if you give us a general idea of where you live, we might be able to suggest a few places you could visit.
