Delosperma 'Mountain Dew' – Yellow Ice Plant

Brilliant yellow flowers with white centers brighten the dense mat of green, finger-like succulent leaves from spring through fall. A sport of 'Orange Crush', this lovely ice plant brings long-lasting color to rock gardens, borders, groundcover plantings, and containers. Its South African heritage and tolerance of drought, heat, and humidity make it an attractive, low-maintenance choice for challenging garden conditions. The flowers also attract bees and butterflies.
