Delosperma Cooperi 'Hot Pink'
Hot Pink Ice Plant | Delosperma cooperi | Trailing Ice Plant ‘Hot Pink’ | Hardy Ice Plant ‘Hot Pink’
Hot Pink Ice Plant is a vibrant, sun-worshipping evergreen succulent groundcover prized for its spectacular, continuous profusion of shimmering, daisy-like magenta-pink flowers that blanket the plant from early summer through fall. This exceptionally tough, heat-loving selection is known for its low-growing, mat-forming habit and fleshy, cylindrical green leaves that thrive in the most challenging, dry, and sweltering summer conditions. Its nectar-rich blossoms—which open brilliantly with the morning sun and close in the evening—are a magnet for butterflies and bees, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance spiller and edger for rock gardens, sunny landscape borders, retaining walls, and mixed patio containers. With its bold, jewel-toned color and reliable performance in poor soils, Hot Pink Ice Plant offers an extraordinary, non-stop display of vibrant blooms with exceptionally straightforward care.
Growing Hot Pink Ice Plant
Light: Full sun; thrives in intense, direct sunlight (at least 6 to 8 hours per day) which is absolutely required for the blooms to fully open and for the plant to maintain a tight, sturdy spreading form.
Soil: Light, sandy, or gravelly, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to poor soils as long as drainage is excellent. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged clay, especially during the cold, wet winter months.
Water: Low; water sparingly once established, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Its fleshy, succulent leaves store water, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant and highly sensitive to overwatering.
Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. The vigorous stems produce self-cleaning flowers without the need for tedious deadheading. No fertilizer is typically needed, as excessively rich soils encourage soft, weak growth at the expense of blooms.
Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies and bees; naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 6–10; exceptionally cold-hardy across a wide range of climates provided it has excellent winter drainage.
Shipping Info
Hot Pink Ice Plant plants are shipped as healthy young starts in 4" nursery pots. Allow 1–2 weeks after arrival for plants to recover from shipping and resume active growth before repotting or planting outdoors.
