Delosperma 'Fire Spinner' – Bicolor Ice Plant

Delosperma 'Fire Spinner' – Bicolor Ice Plant

A delightful rock garden showstopper, 'Fire Spinner' forms a dense, quick-spreading mat of tiny, plump succulent leaves beneath vivid neon-orange and magenta-pink flowers, often accented with white centers. Its heavy spring display brings brilliant color close to the ground, with flowers continuing into summer in suitable conditions. This South African perennial succulent is drought tolerant once established and deer tolerant, making it excellent for low-water gardens, containers, and colorful groundcover plantings. The flowers attract butterflies and bees. Provide plenty of sun and excellent drainage, water regularly while establishing, and reduce watering once rooted in.
