Wheels Of Wonder Purple, also known as Ice Plant or Delosperma Cooperi, is an evergreen succulent native to South Africa. Concept Plants developed the Wheels of Wonder cultivars for their bright colors and long bloom season. Purple flowers with white centers bloom from spring through fall, covering succulent foliage with a dense, mat-forming, spreading habit of 4-6" tall and 15-24" wide. This heat and drought-tolerant plant flourishes in full sun with occasional water, resisting deer and attracting butterflies. Hardy in zone 6-10, this non-invasive ice plant offers unique foliage and ornamental flowers as a low-maintenance groundcover or in containers, borders, or rock gardens. This plant's fleshy, blue-green foliage and striking flowers are an outstanding addition to any Mediterranean garden or xeriscape. Grow Purple alongside WOW Limoncello and WOW White for color variety.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
