Description
Delosperma sutherlandii, also known as Sutherland's Ice Plant, is a charming creeping perennial that carpets walls, rockeries, and borders, thanks to its succulent and evergreen foliage. Its numerous small vibrant pink flowers with yellow centres bloom throughout the summer until frost. Preferring dry soils and very sunny exposures, it is ideal for covering walls and filling rockeries or hanging baskets. Semi-hardy, it will prefer to be in a container if temperatures drop below -10°C (14°F).
This Delosperma is named sutherlandii in reference to the Sutherland region located in South Africa. This perennial is perfectly suited to hot and dry climates. It settles between stones, paving slabs, or on a dry slope, as long as it finds some substrate. However, if your region experiences frosts close to -10°C (14°F), place it in a pot or container that you bring indoors during winter.
This Ice Plant has creeping, branching stems that easily root, thus colonizing the space up to a width of 50cm (20in) under good conditions. They bear succulent, opposite, gutter-shaped leaves, in a bright green colour. These leaves are sessile, very fleshy, warty, and measure about 4cm (2in). It forms a low clump that is covered with solitary flowers measuring 4cm (2in) (the largest in the genus), in a vibrant pink with a lemon yellow centre. Its flowering extends over a long period, bringing vibrant colours to neglected areas. If you want to enhance the flowering, you can remove faded flowers.
Delosperma sutherlandii is a quintessential rockery plant. It therefore thrives in the company of Sedums, Dianthus, and Wall Bellflowers. However, it will be perfect at the feet of Stachys and Valerian, with which it shares the same needs: sun and dry soil.
Did you know: The word Delosperma means "visible seed" and refers to the carpels of the fruits that have no membranes, thus leaving the seeds visible when the valves are open.

Planting and care
Delosperma settles in place in spring or autumn in well-drained, dry, even rocky soil. It appreciates walls, rockeries, and well-exposed slopes. If your region experiences frosts below -9°C (15.8°F), prefer to place it in a pot or planter. This way, you can protect it during winter if necessary. Although its leaves are succulent, it appreciates being watered during summer.
A sunny and warm location is essential for it to feel comfortable and flower abundantly. You can remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms. Dividing the stump may be necessary after a few years, depending on its location.
Make sure it doesn't get covered in dead leaves from nearby trees if they are at risk of rotting. Similarly, it doesn't appreciate having its feet in stagnant water. It can be susceptible to mealybugs and green flies.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
