Delospermas

Delospermas are from South Africa but with the exception of D. cooperi (Z6) are only just hardy (Z9). They are best thought of as perennial Mesembryanthemums, having prostrate succulent foliage with flowers up to 5cm across opening and closing with the sun. D. sutherlandii and D.cooperi are pink (and I mean pink), D.s. ‘Peach Star’ does do what is says on the tin, and D. congestum is bright yellow.

Delospermas

Delospermas are low growing South African plants with thick fleshy leaves, and long-lasting daisy type flowers in summer. D. cooperi has purple/red flowers, is a sub-shrub hardy to Z6; and is known as the Trailing or Hardy Ice Plant while D. sutherlandii is a non-woody perennial, hardy only to Z9 and has violet-pink flowers.
