Growing Requirements:

• Soil: Delosperma cooperi prefers well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. It does not tolerate wet soil, so it is important to provide good drainage.
• Sunlight: This plant requires full sun to thrive, although it can tolerate partial shade in hot climates.
• Watering: Delosperma cooperi is drought-tolerant and does not require frequent watering. In fact, overwatering can cause root rot. Water deeply once every two to three weeks during the growing season and reduce watering in winter.
• Fertilizer: This plant does not require much fertilizer. If you choose to fertilize, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a year in the spring.

Cold Hardiness: Delosperma cooperi is a hardy plant that can survive winter temperatures down to -10°F (-23°C) with good drainage. However, it is important to note that excessive moisture combined with cold temperatures can cause the plant to rot. In areas with cold, wet winters, it may be best to plant Delosperma cooperi in a raised bed or container where you can control the drainage. In general, this plant is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 6-9.
