I have a new delosperma Jewel of the Desert plant. Do you think it will be hardy in central Scotland?? or will I need to give it shelter in the winter?

Resurrecting as I have exactly the same question. Did it survive the winter hogweed? I have several in pots, spent the winter in the cold GH so ok on frost, not sure on wet. I was surprised I saw they have them planted out on Beechgrove in that mountain rock garden area. They are so pretty I don’t want to lose them.

They are supposed to be hardy but I think freezing and wet will get them. Maybe cloche them to give some protection and on the drier side if you can.
Have always wanted one of those bell cloches so may be a win win situation here!
They don't like waterlogged soil. Wet will do more damage than cold, I think, so check your drainage.
