PR00914 TABLE MOUNTAIN
Hardy Ice Plant Seeds

Delosperma cooperi

View larger image

Bright fuchsia, yellow centered 1.5-2 inch flowers are held above the gray-green succulent leaves. Heaviest bloom is in late spring and summer and is followed by sporadic bloom in the fall. Flowers attract butterflies. Ground-hugging (to 3 inches tall) and fast spreading (to 18-24 inches wide), it tolerates poor soil, heat and drought. Foliage turns showy shades of purple in Winter. Table Mountain is a product of the Denver Botanical Garden's and Colorado State University's succesful effort to increase the winter hardiness of Delosperma cooperi. Winter hardy to zone 5.

How to Plant ICE PLANT Seeds

Sow seed in cell packs or flats, using a sterile packaged seed starting mix. Press into soil, do not cover. Kept at 70° F., germination is in 21-28 days. Transplant Stardust 9 inches apart, Table Mountain 12-18 inches apart.

Comments: Full Sun, afternoon shade in hottest climates. Tolerates poor soil, needs good drainage. Drought tolerant once established, accepts moderate water. Fast growing. Stardust is a smaller-scale plant ideal for filling in hot, dry portions of the garden. Fire resistant, deer resistant and attract butterflies.
