| Botanical Name | Delosperma cooperi |
| Description | A high-impact perennial groundcover for Willis and Houston landscapes, 'Cooperi' Ice Plant is prized for its shimmering, daisy-like magenta flowers that bloom from spring through fall. Its succulent, evergreen foliage stores water, making it a "Texas-tough" choice for rock gardens and sunny slopes. While it loves the heat, the secret to success in local clay is impeccable drainage. Ensure it is planted in a raised bed or a gritty, well-drained spot; this plant will not survive "wet feet" during a rainy Southeast Texas winter. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for maximum flower opening and a tight, spreading habit) |
| Height x Width | 3-6 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Low. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering, especially during the humid Houston summer and wet winters. |
| Zones | 6 - 10 (Reliable perennial groundcover for Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Minimal needs. A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring can encourage a heavier bloom cycle. |
| Pruning | None strictly required. You may trim back the edges in late winter if it spreads beyond its desired area. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
