Notes
'Kelaidis' fire spinner ice plant (Delosperma 'Kelaidis') is a perennial for rock gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it needs little care. Salmon pink flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn and attract butterflies and bees.
