Description

This newer Delosperma variety is a very reliable plant with a long blooming season of purple flowers. Fast growing dark green foliage is a little more compact than that of Delosperma cooperi. Flowers open with the sun and close up at night as with all Delosperma. Dark green leaves spread quickly and turn yellow-green in the winter months. Named for a former director of Denver Botanic Gardens. Flowers attract pollinators. Large quantities may require custom growing. Please contact the office for lead times.
