Description

Named after its collection location in the mountains of the South African Karroo, this diminutive plant has delicately colored pink flowers and light green foliage - a good contrast to the saturated colors of many other Delosperma. Flowers are about 1/2" to 1" across, and foliage doesn't grow much higher than 2". Flowers attract pollinators when open in the day time; they close up at night as with all Delosperma. The leaves of this plant turn a bright, light orange to pink in the coldest months. This is a custom order plant. Please contact office for lead times.
