Delosperma Jewel of Desert ‘Ruby’

Delosperma Jewel of the Desert ‘Ruby’ has red-tipped petals with wide white centers and a yellow and orange transition zone. Expect flowers in waves from late spring straight through to fall. We have noticed that the Jewel of Desert series seems to be particularly popular with honeybees. 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 rain shadow of a house or other structure. Deer resistant.
