Description
The pair consists of:
- x 1 Delosperma Desert Dancers 'Red': bright red flowers, green foliage turning red in the summer.
- x 1 Delosperma Desert Dancers 'Purple': vibrant violet flowers, very dark green foliage turning brown-red to purple in the summer.
The 'Desert Dancers' Delospermas should be planted in well-drained soil in spring, even dry or rocky soil. They thrive in full sun, on walls, rock gardens, and well-exposed slopes. If you experience frost below -10°C, grow them in pots or planters so you can shelter them in winter. Some watering during prolonged dry spells will be appreciated. Each plant can cover 80cm to 1m of ground after 2-3 years of growth. 2 plants can cover an area of about 0.75m² in one season, almost 2m² after 3-4 years of growth.
The 'Desert Dancers' Delospermas are versatile and can be used to enhance rock gardens, walls, pots, or as ground cover in dry gardens. They pair perfectly with other small succulent plants that appreciate the same growing conditions. Combine your plants with Houseleeks, Sedums, Aptenia cordifolia, or Euphorbia myrsinites.

Planting and care
Delosperma 'Desert Dancers' should be planted in the spring or autumn in well-drained, even dry and rocky soil. A mixture of compost and fine gravel will suit. It loves full sun. If you experience frosts below -10/-12 °C, plant it in a pot or container. This way, you can protect it during the winter if necessary.
A sunny and warm location is essential for it to feel comfortable and bloom abundantly. Some watering during prolonged droughts will be welcome. You can remove faded flowers to encourage new ones to bloom. You may need to divide the crown after a few years, depending on its location.
Make sure it does not get covered in dead leaves from nearby trees when they could be at risk of rotting. The plant does not like having its feet in stagnant water.

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.
