Delosperma 'Wheels Of Wonder' 6 X 9cm

Product Description

Following the launch of Jewel of the Desert here is Wheels of Wonder
- the latest breeding breakthrough from the same Japanese enthusiast! The result of more than a decades painstaking work these new Hardy Ice Plants sparkle like gems all summer long no matter how hot & dry the weather is & are incredibly easy to look after as they are trouble free & fully hardy. Most people probably have not heard of Delopsperma, but they are close relations of other trailing succulent types like commonly known Mesembryanthemum, & the borderline hardy Lampranthus often seen on dry stone walls in Cornwall & the South West. The new Wheels of Wonder series all have a distinctive white ring around the centre of their large flowers, giving them a completely new look too, sitting tight into their foliage. Although quite small, the flowers smother the established plants all Summer long. They love being baked warm & dry in our Summer sun, & conversely hate wet feet in Winter. Therefore we suggest growing in pots, in well-drained soil with added grit & s&. They will spread to cover the pots, & trail down over the side. Or they work well in very dry banks & stone wall crevices, as this new series are totally hardy too, & as part of traditional alpine gardens.
