Delosperma, Hardy Ice Plant 'Stardust'

I grew about 20 stardusts from seed last year and have been really pleased with the results in my raised beds here in hot, humid South Ca...Read Morerolina. The plants are prolific bloomers and don't appear to be bothered by anything. No disease or insect damage at all and critters like deer don't touch them. They don't need any supplemental watering and love full sun exposure, but have done well with partial shade in the late afternoon as well. They didn't fuss at all when I tranplanted several of them in early Spring. Blooms started early to mid Spring this year and if last year is an indicator, will continue to the end of Fall. The plants look fine during the Winter months and they cover the ground well enough to keep weeds from germinating during the Spring and Summer months. Blooms open up as soon as the warm sun comes out and I haven't had to dead-head or cut off any dead plant material over the past 18 months that I've had them. They have produced a few welcome volunteers, but generally stay within their borders.
