Great info on the delosperma, and awesome photos Clint.

Bev, I think there are no delosperma right now on Wild Ginger Farm because they are just starting to wake up in her area. Davyii goes winter dormant. Mine is just now coming out of dormancy. Emma's place is much higher altitude and therefor behind me in growing season.

My D. cooperii came through the long months of heavy rain without a single problem. Stayed evergreen and even grew some. Spreads quickly.
I lost my D. 'Eye Candy', not sure why. I bloomed until killing frost, but was gone come this sprin. Sad
Might be I need to grow it in sand and gravel to protect it from all the winter/spring rain.
Most of my other delosperma made it, with a few casualties. Most seem to be clump forming and not the spreading type like cooperii.
I'll try to get some photos this week.

Yeah, Fire Spinner looks pretty good even if not as prolific a bloomer as pictured in the catalogs.
I have a soft spot for psychedelic little things......

It will be interesting to see how many blooms it will have in a days time, and how long it's bloom season will be.

There was no name for this prolific delosperma. It blooms until cold weather arrives. We got some for Denice's slope in the back yard.

We also got D. cooperii, it should do very well in her yard.

That's pretty Lynn! I planted a couple in pots yesterday. One is the red one - "moon spinner" or something?? (I'm spacing and can't think of the name?) and then D. 'John Proffit' and then cuttings from a friend, don't know the name...the "spinner" one already has a couple of buds on it! Thumbs up

One of my favorites Greg.


Critter, so far I don't have that one. The only small pot they had is the one my daughter bought and put in her new bed. If I can find some more I will get it and send you some.
