Delosperma hybrid 'Jewel of Desert Garnet' is a cultivated variety of ice plant developed for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms and resilience in diverse climates. This hybrid belongs to the Aizoaceae family and was bred from South African Delosperma species to enhance cold tolerance and extended flowering periods. The plant forms dense mats of succulent foliage that conserve water and withstand drought conditions, making it a reliable ground cover in xeriscaping and rock gardens. The flowers are striking, with bright red petals that transition into a vivid pink halo surrounding a small yellow center, creating a jewel-like effect that inspired its cultivar name. Blooming continuously from late spring through autumn, this variety offers a longer flowering season compared to many other ice plants.
