📌 Product Description

Delosperma ‘Lido’ is a compact, free-flowering hybrid Ice Plant bred for improved colour intensity and extended blooming performance. It produces masses of vivid daisy-like flowers in bold shades of pink, purple, magenta, red, orange, or yellow (depending on cultivar), covering the plant from spring well into summer.

With its dense, low-growing succulent foliage, the Lido series forms a neat, colourful groundcover ideal for borders, rockeries, and water-wise landscapes. It thrives in full sun and is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established.

A high-impact, low-maintenance flowering succulent perfectly suited to modern South African gardens.
