Delosperma echinatum, also known as the ‘Pickle Plant’, is a unique and attractive succulent plant native to South Africa. It is a small, evergreen shrub with thin wiry stems that hold pairs of barrel-shaped leaves. The leaves are light green and covered in short, white, bristly hairs, which give them a spiny appearance. However, the hairs are actually soft and harmless.
The Pickle Plant is a drought-tolerant plant and easy to care for, which makes it a good choice for gardeners in a variety of climates.
In spring, the Pickle Plant produces masses of small, daisy-like flowers in shades of white, yellow, or pink. The flowers are typically about an inch in diameter and have five petals
