Delosperma 'Kelaidis'

Common name Mesa Verde ice plant

Family aizoaceae

Life cycle perennial (Z4-8)

Flowers salmon pink (late spring-summer)

Size 2"

Light sun

After finally killing my old specimen of D. cooperi earlier this year, in an ill-advised early-spring move, I needed to restock on ice plant. So I picked up a large specimen of this cultivar, probably a hybrid between D. cooperi and another species. It looks like this will likewise be a nice colorful groundcover, albeit in a bit more sophisticated shade of pink.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: front perennial border, cutting garden
