Delosperma lehmannii – Sculptural Trailing Succulent with Yellow Blooms

Architectural Form | Cascading Growth | Effortless Charm

Elevate your succulent collection with the distinctive beauty of Delosperma lehmannii (Lehmann’s Ice Plant), a rare gem native to South Africa. This compact trailing succulent is celebrated for its angular, bluish-green leaves, neatly arranged in opposite pairs, creating a bold geometric texture that feels sculptural and modern.

In spring and early summer, it bursts into bloom with clusters of soft yellow to creamy-white, daisy-like flowers that contrast beautifully with its glaucous foliage. Its trailing stems, reaching up to 25 cm, are perfect for cascading over walls, spilling from planters, or adding movement to hanging baskets.
