Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant features fleshy green leaves covered in showy, bright pink-lilac flowers from spring through fall. Excellent in water-wise gardens, Delosperma ‘Jewel of Desert Rosequartz’ as it is botanically known, is a prolific bloomer and attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and other friendly pollinators while being deer resistant. Its compact habit, and heat and drought tolerance make it ideal for dry sunny garden areas.
Use Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant as a groundcover, as an edging plant, or mass planting in rock gardens. Hardy in zones 5-10, this ground-hugging perennial has a mature height of only 4-6 inches with a spread of 12 inches. It produces a lush, mat-like carpet of colorful foliage and flowers all season long.
Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant Care
Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant is best when planted in a full sun location, receiving 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, in well-draining soil. Iceplant will not tolerate soggy soil conditions, so be sure to test the soil structure before planting. It thrives in hot and dry conditions.
Keep the plant looking tidy with occasional deadheading throughout the growing season to allow for continual blooming. Its salt, heat, and drought tolerance helps it adapt to less-than-ideal soil conditions once the plant is fully established.
Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant Spacing
Jewel of Desert® Rose Quartz Hardy Iceplant is wonderful planted in rock gardens, as a colorful groundcover, on slopes for erosion control, or in any area you’d like a pretty but tough-as-nails, continual flowering perennial. Space Jewel of the Desert® Rose Quartz 10 inches apart to allow for full mature growth; if a thick ground cover effect is desired, space plants slightly closer than 10 inches.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
