How do I plant Delosperma Jewel of the Desert?
We suggest when planting your newly purchased Jewel of the Desert Ice plant that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil.
