Delosperma echinatum is more commonly referred to as the ‘Pickle-plant’. This plant has small gherkin shaped leaves that are covered in little soft white hairs which means it certainly has the 'cutesy' factor!.
The leaves grow to about 2.5 cm in length and are light Green in colour. In the summer months, this plant can produce Yellow & White Daisy-like flowers and as the plant matures it will form a low-growing mat of foliage and Flowers.
The 'Pickle Plant' originates from the beaches and desert areas of South Africa so is naturally very drought tolerent.
Please Note: Succulents change colour throughout the year and the plants we deliver can look different from the pictures. All plants are shipped bare root (without soil).
