Short spikes of pink flowers are an added bonus in mid to late spring. Vigorous habit. Evergreen in most regions.

Not the best choice for extremely dry shade conditions, like under maple or evergreen trees. Will perform well in tubs or mixed containers. Easily divided in spring or fall, the plants make runners that root into the ground. These can be moved to start a new patch.

Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain
Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain
Delosperma, (Ice Plant) Table Mountain

‘Table Mountain’, has 1-2” bright single fuchsia daisy like colored blooms that cover the plant most of the summer.

The foliage is deep green, almost succulent looking, and extremely shiny. ‘Table Mountain’ is an improvement of the old fashioned Delosperma ‘Coperi’.

Expect a plant spread of 18” and a height of 2-3”. Best suited for a sunny area, with some afternoon shade, with well- drained soil. It prefers dry and sandy soil and does not like wet soil, especially in the winter.

Hot conditions keep the flowers blooming most of the summer, and it requires little to no care.

This will look great used as a ground cover in a rock garden, in front of a perennial border, and as an erosion prevention on sloped grounds.

Can also be used on hard to grow areas in the sun garden as they have little water requirements, yet fill in very quickly.

  • Fuschia Colored Daisy Like Flowers
  • Blooms All Season
  • Loves Heat and Drought
  • Height of 2-3″
  • Zones 5-9
  • Spread to 18″
  • Evergreen in most zones.  May turn yellow in fall/winter north of zone 6

Catnip-Nepeta cataria

Catnip has a well earned reputation for sending cats into states euphoria.  Catnip, a member of the mint family, is a harmless “high” for felines. Although many cats will eat it, scientists say they’re reacting to the smell rather than the taste. Felines bite, chew, rub against, and roll in catnip to release the volatile oil trapped in the leaves. About 80% of adult cats react to this irresistible, intoxicating, analgesic soporific. The tendency to like or ignore catnip is inherited, and it’s true that some cats are immune to its influence.
