Dancing Embers Hardy Ice Plant – 1 Gallon Pot

A member of the KALEIDOSCOPE™ Delosperma series, as its name suggests, Dancing Embers Hardy Ice Plant was bred by Hans Hansent at Walters Gardens for its large flowers and enhanced cold hardiness, allowing it to thrive in USDA Zone 5b, where temperatures can drop to -15°F. It forms a dense carpet of succulent, rich green foliage, 2 to 3 inches tall, 4 inches in bloom, and 24 or more inches wide, making it a great choice as a border, grouping, groundcover, or spiller plant in container gardens. From late spring through early summer, the foliage carpet is smothered in vibrant reddish-orange, quilled flowers up to 2 inches across, which butterflies and beneficial pollinators will appreciate. Easy to grow, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant, like other ice plants, Dancing Embers requires well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight for optimal bloom and overall performance. Its low water needs make it excellent for the xeric garden.
