A South African genus of so-called ice plants, rather like Mesembryanthemums, with thick, angular, fleshy leaves. The flowers look rather like daisies, wide open and with many slender petals, but without a central disk. They are increasingly popular, and many seem to be hardy in the UK.
Delosperma nubigenum is known as the yellow ice plant. The green leaves turn reddish in autumn. Bright, golden yellow daisy flowers are produced in summer.
