Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your Delosperma in a location that receives full sun for the majority of the day. If planting in containers, use a gritty compost mix, such as a blend of potting soil and horticultural grit or sand. While these plants are drought-tolerant once established, water them regularly during the first few weeks after planting to help them settle. In winter, protection from excessive moisture is more important than protection from cold; if planting in a pot, move it to a sheltered area or raise it on 'pot feet' to improve drainage. Minimal pruning is required, though you can trim back any straggly growth in early spring to encourage a denser habit.
