About this plant
Delosperma hybrida Ocean Sunset 'Orange Vibe' produces daisy-like flowers in vibrant orange tones, blooming from late spring into fall and providing months of continuous color. Fleshy, succulent leaves are narrow and bright green, forming a dense, spreading mat. The evergreen foliage creates a durable carpet throughout the year, while the flowers open fully in sunshine and attract bees and other pollinators during the extended bloom season.
Originating from hybrid breeding based on South African species, the Ocean Sunset series was developed for ornamental performance and prolific flowering. This cultivar is well suited to rock gardens, borders, containers, and gravel plantings, where its colorful blooms and ground-hugging habit contribute lasting seasonal interest.

Design tip
