Ocean Sunset™ Orange Vibe Ice Plant (Delosperma hybrida 'T1821') displays glowing orange, daisy-like flowers from late spring through fall. It stays low at around 4 to 6 inches tall, adding bright splashes of color across garden beds or patio containers. Many gardeners prefer it over other groundcover choices because it remains resilient in dry, sunny conditions. This succulent-type perennial continues blooming when others have faded.

Its dense, semi-evergreen foliage helps shield soil, and deer typically pass it by. Delosperma, native to parts of South Africa, adapts to various temperate climates with minimal fuss. It performs well in rock gardens, along walkways, and in mass plantings on slopes for erosion control. Low water needs make it a solid option for gardeners seeking easy-care color accents in dry gardens.

Ocean Sunset™ Orange Vibe Ice Plant Care

Provide a spot in full sun with well-draining soil, and water sparingly after establishing roots. Occasional deep watering during high heat promotes steady growth. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring helps maintain robust flowers. Slightly alkaline to neutral pH is acceptable, though the plant tolerates a range of soil conditions.

Remove spent flower stems to keep the surface tidy. Pinching leggy stems can help maintain a compact form, while extensive trimming is rarely needed. In colder climates, protect roots with a light layer of mulch or relocate potted plants to a frost-free area. Containers should have good drainage to guard against root rot in wet weather.

Ocean Sunset™ Orange Vibe Ice Plant Spacing

Place plants 8 to 12 inches apart when creating a low carpet effect in rock gardens or borders. Slightly wider spacing of 12 to 15 inches is helpful in larger mass plantings to accommodate future spread. For container use, select a pot at least 8 inches wide, though bigger containers allow combinations with other plants. Provide enough space for each plant to fill out and maintain an attractive, continuous show of color.
