Delosperma ashtonii (Ashton's Hardy Ice Plant)

Delosperma ashtonii, commonly known as Ashton's Hardy Ice Plant, is a low-growing, succulent perennial that forms a dense mat of fleshy, cylindrical leaves. The leaves are green with a hint of purple and are covered in tiny hairs. In late spring to early summer, the plant produces vibrant pink, daisy-like flowers with a yellow center that attract pollinators. Ashton's Hardy Ice Plant is drought-tolerant and thrives in hot, sunny locations. It is an excellent groundcover option for rock gardens, slopes, or landscape borders.
