Highly drought-tolerant and adaptable to poor soils, it can withstand temperatures down to -10°C , making it an excellent choice for temperate and Mediterranean climates.
How to Use Delosperma Sundella Red®?
Thanks to its ground-covering habit and generous blooming, Delosperma Sundella Red® is perfect for rock gardens, sunny borders, and slopes. It also thrives in containers and hanging baskets, adding vibrant color to balconies and patios. In flower beds, it pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants like Sedums and Lavenders. Its ability to prevent soil erosion makes it an excellent choice for planting on embankments and sloping areas.
Tips for Successfully Growing Delosperma Sundella Red®
Delosperma Sundella Red® thrives in well-drained, even poor and rocky soils. It should be planted in full sun to ensure optimal flowering.
