Scientific Name:
Delosperma cooperi

Family:
Hardy Iceplant

Family:
Aizoaceae

Description:
Hardy Iceplant, overwintering through zone 6 and portions of zone 5 if placed in dry, well-drained soils, becomes covered in purple-lavendar flowers in Spring and continues, to a lesser extent, throughout the Summer into Autumn. If planted in masses and lightly mulched to prevent weeds, this can become a beautiful groundcover.
