Delosperma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Aizoaceae, commonly known as ice plants. These succulent perennials are native to southern Africa and are appreciated for their vibrant, daisy-like flowers that bloom in various colors, including yellow, pink, and purple. They thrive in well-drained soils and are often used in rock gardens, ground covers, and xeriscaping due to their drought-resistant qualities. The leaves of Delosperma are fleshy and can store water, making them ideal for arid environments. These plants typically grow low to the ground and spread quickly, creating a colorful carpet of foliage and flowers. They are also attractive to pollinators, contributing to local biodiversity.
