Description
Delosperma lineare is a small hardy succulent plant with fleshy foliage and golden yellow flowers. This creeping perennial densely carpets walls, rockeries, and borders with tender green foliage, which is covered in sun-like flowers in summer and turns reddish bronze in winter. Like all Delosperma, this botanical species thrives in full sun in lean, well-drained soils, even in very dry conditions in summer. But unlike many others, it survives severe frosts. It also grows well in pots.
Delosperma lineare belongs to the family Aizoaceae. Like all Delosperma, it is a South African perennial plant that thrives in poor, well-drained soil and full sun. If your region experiences frosts close to -15 °C, place it in a pot or container that you can bring indoors during winter. This Delosperma, or perennial purslane, develops creeping, branching, prostrate stems. They bear numerous small succulent leaves that are ovate, thick, tender green with often reddish tips, becoming bronze to reddish under cold temperatures. They are sessile, meaning they have no petiole and are directly attached to the stems. Together, they form a very low (5cm (2in)) carpet that flowers abundantly in June-July. Depending on the climate, a few flowers may bloom outside of these periods, between February and November. The clustered flowers have a golden yellow colour around a more orange centre. This flowering brings vibrant colours to the most deprived areas of the garden. The flowers only open in the sun.
Delosperma lineare is a rockery plant par excellence, but it is also an excellent variety for flower pots. It thrives in slightly arid areas of the garden, sometimes difficult to landscape: a dry and rocky slope, a dry stone wall, between the stones of a sunny rockery… Sedums, dwarf carnations, campanulate wallflowers, and creeping Gypsophila are good companions for this exotic-looking carpet, as well as Valerian plants (Centranthus), with which it shares the same needs: sun and dry soil, both in winter and summer.

Planting and care
Delosperma lineare settles preferably in place in spring (or in autumn in mild and dry climate) in a very well-drained, light, poor, dry, even rocky or sandy soil. It appreciates walls, rockeries, and well-exposed slopes. If your region is subject to frost below -15°C (5°F), prefer a place in a pot or in a planter. This way, you can shelter it during winter if necessary.
A sunny and warm location is essential for it to feel comfortable and flower abundantly. You can remove faded flowers to encourage their renewal. Division of the stump may be necessary after a few years, depending on its location.
Make sure it does not get covered with dead leaves from nearby trees if they are at risk of rotting. Similarly, it does not appreciate having its feet in stagnant water, in winter as well as in summer. This variety does not tolerate summers that are both hot and humid.

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.
