Delosperma nubigenum Seeds
South African Indigenous Succulent
Delosperma is a rather large genus of succulents with over 100 species. It can be found from southern South Africa, up to Zimbabwe and even as far as Arabia. Most of the species are subshrubs or of a trailing habit. This genus also boasts the most frost resistant mesembs, Delosperma cooperi and D. nubigenum. They will survive -17°C or even less. In general, plants from this genus are to a lesser degree susceptible to overwatering. Delosperma nubigenum is a dwarf mat-forming plant, usually found on cliffs. It has small erect leaves with pointed tips and beautiful yellow flowers on short stalks in spring. It is best sown in spring. Analyses have indicated that many Delosperma sp. contains quite substantial amounts of DMT and N-methyltryptamine in the leaves and branches.
