[ Ice Plant (Delosperma cooperi) | Posted on November 9, 2013 ] I have had this plant for 1-1/2 years now. It started out as a plant in a 3" pot, summer of 2012.
A year and half later this is what it looks like. Notice the shadows, the sun is going down, so the blooms start closing for the night. When the blooms are fully open the plant is covered in beautiful purple blooms.
There is another 4 foot long wall filled with D. cooperi. Both walls of cooperi go all the way to the ground. I have lost count of the times this summer that I have pruned them way back, so they won't overtake the rest of the beds, and I have given many starts to other gardeners. This plant starts easily from cuttings, blooms heavily until winter freeze (here in my zone 8 PNW), and is evergreen for me. After two hard freezes it is still blooming. This is a wonderful plant for using as a ground cover. It makes a dense carpet that seems to repel weeds. I do find a rare bindweed which has been very easy to remove. In a day or two you can't even tell where you disturbed the D. cooperi. This has provided food for the bees from late spring until November. |
[ Albuca (Albuca shawii) | Posted on November 8, 2013 ] This plant needs very good drainage in the winter, especially if you have heavy winter rains. Or you can grow it in containers and give it some protection from too much moisture in the winter. Goes winter dormant. |
