Sutherland's Hardy Ice Plant, Pink Carpet Ice Plant
Very pretty plants, which arrived in good condition in well-suited packaging and took root almost immediately after planting. One of the three took a few days, but then blossomed beautifully. I am very pleased with the effect my purslane has on my terrace and with their cheerful flowers that brighten my mood first thing in the morning!

Description
Delosperma sutherlandii, also known as Sutherland's Ice Plant, is a charming creeping perennial that carpets walls, rockeries, and borders, thanks to its succulent and evergreen foliage. Its numerous small vibrant pink flowers with yellow centres bloom throughout the summer until frost. Preferring dry soils and very sunny exposures, it is ideal for covering walls and filling rockeries or hanging baskets. Semi-hardy, it will prefer to be in a container if temperatures drop below -10°C (14°F).
This Delosperma is named sutherlandii in reference to the Sutherland region located in South Africa. This perennial is perfectly suited to hot and dry climates. It settles between stones, paving slabs, or on a dry slope, as long as it finds some substrate. However, if your region experiences frosts close to -10°C (14°F), place it in a pot or container that you bring indoors during winter.
This Ice Plant has creeping, branching stems that easily root, thus colonizing the space up to a width of 50cm (20in) under good conditions. They bear succulent, opposite, gutter-shaped leaves, in a bright green colour. These leaves are sessile, very fleshy, warty, and measure about 4cm (2in). It forms a low clump that is covered with solitary flowers measuring 4cm (2in) (the largest in the genus), in a vibrant pink with a lemon yellow centre. Its flowering extends over a long period, bringing vibrant colours to neglected areas. If you want to enhance the flowering, you can remove faded flowers.
Delosperma sutherlandii is a quintessential rockery plant. It therefore thrives in the company of Sedums, Dianthus, and Wall Bellflowers. However, it will be perfect at the feet of Stachys and Valerian, with which it shares the same needs: sun and dry soil.
Did you know: The word Delosperma means "visible seed" and refers to the carpels of the fruits that have no membranes, thus leaving the seeds visible when the valves are open.

Planting and care
Delosperma settles in place in spring or autumn in well-drained, dry, even rocky soil. It appreciates walls, rockeries, and well-exposed slopes. If your region experiences frosts below -9°C (15.8°F), prefer to place it in a pot or planter. This way, you can protect it during winter if necessary. Although its leaves are succulent, it appreciates being watered during summer.
A sunny and warm location is essential for it to feel comfortable and flower abundantly. You can remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. Dividing the stump may be necessary after a few years, depending on its location.
Make sure it doesn't get covered in dead leaves from nearby trees if they are at risk of rotting. Similarly, it doesn't appreciate having its feet in stagnant water. It can be susceptible to mealybugs and green flies.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
