About Delosperma echinatum
Delosperma echinatum is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Aizoaceae family. Its origin is in South Africa. It stands out for cylindrical fleshy leaves and ground-cover habit, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we grow every Delosperma echinatum directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
