The Delosperma 'Fire Spinner' Ice Plant is a vigorous, spreading perennial that produces a stunning carpet of attractive succulent foliage. Its 1.5-inch-wide flowers, which bloom in late spring to early summer, are a constant source of color throughout the summer and into the fall. The beautiful foliage of fleshy, medium-green leaves that are evergreen in warm winter climates and delicately covered in transparent flakes that resemble small chunks of ice lends winter charm to the landscape. Long blooming season, evergreen foliage, and the intensity of the flower color, a stunning combination of vibrant orange and magenta petals with a central white eye, all add to the perennial plant's decorative appeal.
