Description
Delosperma 'Ice Cream Yellow' is a cheerful addition to any garden, bringing a burst of sunshine with minimal effort. This mat-forming, evergreen succulent grows to just 5-15 cm in height, making it an ideal ground cover for sunny spots or dry, well-drained areas. Its daisy-like flowers, in yellow with a creamy white heart, add a soft but striking contrast to the thick, fleshy green foliage. Delosperma 'Ice Cream Yellow' creates a bright, welcoming atmosphere wherever it’s planted, perfect for filling gaps, softening borders, or brightening up rockeries and containers.
What makes Delosperma cooperi 'Ice Cream Yellow' especially appealing is its remarkable hardiness and low-maintenance nature. Once established, this hardy succulent thrives in poor soils and requires very little attention, offering a stunning display of colour through the summer months. Drought-tolerant and evergreen, it provides year-round interest without the need for constant care. Delosperma 'Ice Cream Yellow' is perfect for those looking to add some vibrant colour to a low-maintenance garden. Whether used as ground cover or in pots, its easy-going nature and lively yellow blooms make it an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners looking to brighten up their space effortlessly.
Our Delosperma 'Ice Cream Yellow' plants are supplied as a root ball 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.
Delosperma cooperi is called ice plant because its leaves sparkle in the sun, as if dusted with tiny frost crystals—even in summer!

Useful information
-
Soak your Delosperma 'Ice Cream Yellow' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Ice plant" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
