A brilliantly colored series of succulent Delosperma from Proven Winners® Perennials. KALEIDOSCOPE™ Delosperma stand out on the market with large flower sizes and improved cold hardiness. Members of this series have reliably overwintered in Zone 6, West Michigan climates for multiple years prior to selection. These plants are notable for heat and drought tolerance, as well as requiring little to no maintenance. The evergreen foliage creates year-round interest and is useful as a groundcover. Plant widths are measured after two years and they are likely to continue spreading after that.
Light pink flowers surround rosy purple centers.
Delospermas are highly heat and drought tolerant, making them a good choice for waterwise landscapes. They thrive in rock gardens, on slopes, in containers, and in the landscape.
