Are there no slugs or snails in Norway?Such nice plants in a summerhouse garden!
I have to grow D.deschampsii in a pot on a windowsill with slugpellets all around it if I want to see a flower.In the rockgarden it was so badly damaged that it was going to be eaten completely if I left it there.Or may be your sp are not so attractive?

What you understand under winter hardy? I do not think the plant is winter hardy really.
But the principle itself must test each.

By winter hardy I mean, does it tolerate to be grown outside in my climate ;)
And I always try if it isn't obvious it wouldn't live through a winter.

I have plenty of slugs and snails at home! But at my summerhouse the climate is less in favor of such gastropods and most plants escape damage. Now geese are a bigger consern at my summerhouse as they come during the night and graze and trample around.

Same here John. I am fascinated by mesembs and grow lots of greenhouse ones but I no longer even attempt any Delosperma outside and if we see them for sale we just say 'oh look - there's some slug food' and walk past. :(

A seedling of 'Red Mountain' grown by Marek Chaloupka.
Red petals having purplish tips as in
the original description of Delosperma dyeri.

Hello,
I have some surplus seeds from D. ashtonii, D. sutherlandii and D ’Table Mountain’.  If somebody is interested in them write me an e-mail, or a message.

It is unknown to me and to the science probably too.
I wonder to which species it is commonly used
and where.

Hi John85,

please show a photo of the plant.
Several years ago, "Golden Nugged" and D. nubigenum sold under that name. But this is utter nonsense.

Great Moravian gave the answer on page 7 in 2010:D.'deschampsii' is the sterile form of D. nubigena.
My plant is indeed sterile.

You are right. I first encountered an image of the standard sterile nubigena denoted
as deschampsii, but later images of 'Gold Nugget' too. I wonder who and to which
species really invented the mysterious binomial.
I conclude you spoke about the standard sterile nubigena
referring to deschampsii.

Delosperma echinatum




Who has those plants which do not originate from Uhlig (Germany nursery)? Seeking clones for pollination.
