Re: Delosperma "Red Candy"
Very nice, I grow a few Delospermas.
Your plant is much like Carmen Lucia, a Japanese hybrid I think?

Hello Morgans Beauty, This is indeed a beautiful Delosperma! Are you sure all the flowers are out all together? Seems almost too good to be true! Take care of it, - you have a winner! Schönen Gruss René!

Re: Delosperma "Red Candy"
I have a few Delosperma seeds which have germinated last week. How long does it take for them to get like that. I have read that they can flower 4 months after sowing from seed but that seems real fast.
p.s. Lovely colour flowers

Re: Delosperma "Red Candy"
There are a series of hybrids out of Japan, and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. There is one called Eye Candy that is basically the same but with a pale centre in the flowers. Basically D. cooperi crossed, and probably back-crossed who knows how many times, with a yellow-flowered plant.
Delospermas certainly can flower in 4-6 months but you maybe needed to germinate them a month or two back to do it in the first summer. Certainly any of them would be expected to flower in their second summer. They are vigorous leafy (thirsty) succulents, not Lithops.
