Fairly hardy, they tolerate brief frosts of around -8 to -10 °C (17.6/14°F).

      Description

      This collection of 'Wheels of Wonder' Delospermas provide easy and colourful interest to dry rockeries, wall tops, large containers on a terrace, or even hanging baskets. These creeping, groundcover perennials, with small succulent leaves, bloom from late spring through summer. The 'Wheels of Wonder' varieties have been selected for their large-sized flowers (3 cm (1in)), vibrant colours, and improved frost resistance. Containers composed of different varieties will create a highly colourful and easy-to-maintain carpet, blooming for a long period.

      The collection includes:

      - x 1 Delosperma Wheels of Wonder Orange: bright orange flowers

      - x 1 Wheels of Wonder Fire: coral orange flowers, redder than the previous variety

      - x 1 Wheels of Wonder Hot Pink: deep, hot pink, almost magenta flowers, with a white, yellow-edged centre.

      These Delosperma Wheels of Wonder should be planted in spring, in well-drained, even dry or rocky soils. They thrive in full sun, on walls, rockeries, and well-exposed slopes. If your area experiences frost below -8 to -10 °C (17.6/14°F), grow them in pots or containers so you can protect them in winter. Light watering during prolonged dry spells is welcome. Each plant will extend to 70 cm (28in) in all directions after 2-3 years of cultivation. 3 plants can cover an area of approximately 0.75 m² in one season, and 2 m² after 3 years of cultivation.

      Pair your ice plants with other small succulent plants such as Hens and Chicks, Houseleeks, Sedums, or Agaves.

      Planting and care

      Delospermas are best planted in spring or autumn in well-drained, even dry and rocky soils. A mixture of compost and fine gravel is ideal and they love full sun exposures. If your area experiences freezing temperatures below -8 to -10 °C (17.6/14°F), plant your Delospermas in a pot or container so that you can protect them during winter, if necessary.

      A sunny and warm spot is essential for good growth and abundant flowering. Light watering during prolonged droughts is appreciated. You can remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. Dividing the stump may be necessary after a few years, depending on the location.

      Make sure the plants don't get covered with dead leaves from nearby trees if they risk rotting. Similarly, they do not appreciate having their feet in stagnant water.
