Delosperma rogersii

A little-documented ice plant from the Cape Provinces of South Africa, known from only a handful of wild records. The measured sites have a mild climate with rain in every month and a slightly drier winter. Grow it like other sun-loving Cape Delosperma: bright light, gritty soil, and careful winter watering.
