Where it grows wild

Recorded on the Mpumalanga escarpment and lowveld near Barberton and Nelspruit, plus one site in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Delosperma of this region typically grow on rocky outcrops and in open grassland or bushveld in full sun.

Few records carry an elevation; the climate sites sit at about 70–950 m, most around 900 m.
