Delosperma nubigenum

Plant Type: Perennial

A low-growing, dry-loving perennial appreciated for its mat-forming habit of tiny succulent foliage and continual blooming intense yellow flowers through the spring and into fall. Native to South Africa yet hardy to our area, this performer thrives in the hot dry conditions it so prefers. Semi-evergreen to evergreen, this plant will benefit from winter protection in colder areas. A useful and versatile perennial providing texture and color to the border edge, stone walls, and containers.
