Love the tree and the combination.. Ever since seeing the Jewel series, I have been looking for it locally, but now I think I'll get a cooperi and make a combo.

I love the contrast of this sedum with Delosperma cooperi.

What a stunning combo...thanks for posting your pix. Just when I thought I was done purchasing plants for this season because of course I have already exceeded my budget for 2013, I want to go plant shopping again.

Thanks! I know the feeling, Susan. I thought I was finished too and then I saw a white Delosperma and had to have it yesterday. LOL.

Clint, you are starting addictions over here too?

Yes. LOL.

My SRG order is coming and a few of my delosperma and sedum are not going to ship! Garnet and Peridott!! I ordered this stuff in December!!!!! Not happy. The plants that I do get better be gorgeous.

Fingers crossed for you...

How does that happen that it isn't in stock when you ordered so long ago?

One bad thing about SRG is that they do not hold plants for orders. They go out by shipping , so whose ever order ships first gets the plants no matter when you ordered them. So take your delivery as soon as you can. I had them send my order 2 weeks sooner then I did last year to avoid that from happening.

That's awful. Don't forget to check Lowes locally. They have them in gallon pots here. They have the orange and yellow together in pots and it looks great.

That is good to know. I ended up cancelling an order last year because I wanted to wait for it to be in stock.Glad I didn't wait . Now I understand.

Thanks Bob, I will remember that. I could have taken these plants in March. I have never seen these at our Lowes but I pop in and out of there so, will keep looking.

So do any of you have all the Jewel of the desert delosperma? I'm looking for Garnet, Peridott , and Rosequarts? Maybe work a trade or postage. T-mail me if your interested. I will also look at my local nurseries. I have Topaz,, moonstone and Ruby, that is if SRN sent the right ones.
Darn I thought I had this in the bag ordering so early.

Here is an article for those who want to grow these in northern zones. They are testing various Delosperma for winter hardiness.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks That will be interesting.

It turns out that Fire Spinner is the one that overwintered.

Ruby is also starting to flower.

Now that the hot weather has started I hope the rest start producing.

Those look good Bob.

That's great Bob! 'Fire Spinner' blooms better in cooler zones. It grows like a weed here but doesn't bloom as much as the others.
