Sandgem™ Ember Delosperma cooperi

SANDGEM™ Ember is a named Delosperma cooperi selection in the 2024–25 ThinkPlants catalog. The catalog describes the SANDGEM™ series as semi-trailing, with large bright flowers for landscape plantings and mixed containers, and reports a typical series size of 4–6 inches tall by 12–16 inches wide, part sun to full sun, late-spring-to-fall flowering, and zones 5–9 ([ThinkPlants catalog, page 29](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/530070179/29/)). Danziger’s series overview describes the plants as semi-trailing and mounded, and identifies ground cover, hanging baskets, and pots as uses ([Danziger SANDGEM™ series](https://www.danzigeronline.com/series_perennials/sandgem/)). The Ember name identifies this selected form within the SANDGEM™ series. This compact succulent groundcover can edge a sunny bed or spill over a container. Its landscape and container uses reflect the breeder’s series profile; the shared series size and flowering season are approximate garden guidance, not a guarantee for every site. ## Maintenance Choose a sunny to partly sunny position with freely draining soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions. The breeder presents the series for heat- and drought-tolerant programs; water during establishment and provide supplemental water during prolonged dry weather.
