Delosperma 'Ice Cream Fire' is a fiery little gem that’s as tough as it is striking. This mat-forming, evergreen succulent forms a low-growing carpet, reaching just 5-15 cm in height, making it an excellent ground cover for sunny, dry spots. The daisy-like flowers are where Delosperma 'Ice Cream Fire' truly shines, with bold red petals surrounding a dramatic dark-pink heart. These vibrant blooms make a fiery statement in your garden, adding a splash of colour that contrasts beautifully against its fleshy, green foliage.
What makes Delosperma cooperi 'Ice Cream Fire' even more appealing is its resilience. Like other ice plants, it thrives in well-drained, poor soils and is highly drought-tolerant, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens, rockeries, or even as a container plant. This hardy succulent flourishes with minimal care, giving you long-lasting colour throughout the summer. Whether you're filling in gaps in your borders or creating a colourful, low-growing carpet, Delosperma 'Ice Cream Fire' adds a fiery pop of colour wherever it's planted. Easy to grow and with its bold blooms, this ice plant is perfect for anyone looking for a hardy, eye-catching ground cover that’s as vibrant as it is effortless.
Our Delosperma 'Ice Cream Fire' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
