Delosperma African Violet Seeds - Flower Plant

Delosperma, commonly known as Ice Plant, is a low-growing, spreading succulent valued for its drought tolerance and ground-covering growth habit. Unlike African Violet, this plant is adapted to outdoor cultivation in warm, dry climates. It produces small, daisy-like flowers and fleshy foliage, performing best in well-drained, sandy soils with full sunlight. Suitable for rock gardens, borders, and containers, it is commonly used in landscape settings where minimal water is required.
