Delosperma Lehmannii Variegata, commonly known as Trailing Ice Plant, is a delightful succulent ground cover native to South Africa. It forms a dense mat of trailing stems adorned with fleshy, triangular leaves. The leaves are variegated with shades of green and cream, adding visual interest to the plant. In late spring to early summer, it produces a profusion of daisy-like flowers in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, or pink. These colourful blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Trailing Ice Plant thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is drought-tolerant and suitable for rock gardens, containers, or as a ground cover in sunny landscapes.
