Delosperma Ocean Sunset™
Posted by Emerald Coast Growers on May 19th 2023
Ever watch the sun set over the sea?
Remember how huge it looked as it slowly sank, closer and closer to the water? Didn't it seem twice as big as when it was high overhead?
That's Ocean Sunset™ for you. This series of ice plants was bred for brilliant blooms that open wide, significantly larger than any other on the market. We've grown them all, and they're all good, but oh, these flowers! They're not just bigger, the colors are hot! hot! hot!
All 3 varieties are a ground hugging 4-6" tall and are hardy in Zones 5-9. And like all Delosperma, the flowers close at night to reopen the next day.
