Oscularia deltoides, also known as the deltoid-leaved dewplant, is a flowering succulent plant native to the south-western Cape region of South Africa. It grows up to 30 cm tall and has silver-blue foliage with triangular leaves and red teeth on the margins. In spring, it produces pink, almond-scented flowers. This plant is popular in South African gardens and can be easily propagated from cuttings. It is low-maintenance and attracts butterflies. In colder regions, it requires winter protection. It has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit and was previously classified under the genus Lampranthus.
