Their radiant beauty is particularly striking under the sun, marking them as a highlight in any setting.

Beyond its visual allure, Delosperma 'Jewel of Desert Moonstone' exhibits remarkable resilience to heat, humidity, and drought, mirroring the hardiness of the best ice plants. With minimal attention post-establishment, it prospers in less-than-ideal conditions, including poor soils, proving itself as an exemplary white iceplant. Ideal for erosion control on slopes or adding vibrancy to heat-laden spots near driveways, it also fills in barren areas with ease, transforming them into areas of lush, ongoing bloom.

This white ice plant revolutionizes the traditional view of iceplants, shifting the focus from their succulent foliage to a celebration of continuous, lively blossoms. With 'Jewel of Desert Moonstone,' gardeners are treated to a spectacle of ice plant flowers, ensuring a display of color and beauty that spans three seasons each year.
