valleylynn said: Welcome! Pat. Nice to meet you. And I love the vision of delosperma and sempervivum growing around that lovely mailbox pillar. Lovey dubby
Delosperma, even the cooperi is easy to control since it has such shallow roots. Just pull/dig it from where you don't want it to go. These pieces will start easily any where else you may want it to grow.

I agree with with the other suggestions here, give it good draining soil and an area that does not sit in water at times of the year. That would be lethal to both the semps and delosperma.

Would love to see photos of your semps. What a great memory story behind them. Lovey dubby
Hi valleylynn, nice to meet you too Smiling The delosperma really caught my eye while I was looking for something to plant around the mailboxes, and it seems to be a great fit. Plenty of sun there for it, simple enough where my parents won't have to do a tremendous amount of work to maintain it, and it is pretty Big Grin
