    They need poor, well drained soils and full sun in a sheltered spot.   This may help you - http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/apr/06/plant-of-week-delosperma-hardy-mixed

     

    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

    Good.   They wouldn't suit my current garden at all as it is very fertile, has lots of rain and is exposed but I love the idea of them scrambling around a dry, gravelly area and filling it with colour.

    Kez1980 did you purchase your Delosperma plants if so where from, local garden centre or on-line?
