Delosperma Ocean Sunset Mix (15cm Pot)
Product Description Delosperma Ocean Sunset Mix is a high-impact, drought-defying succulent groundcover bred for exceptionally large blooms and non-stop floral performance. Featuring a stunning colour blend inspired by coastal sunsets—including shimmering violet-pink, glowing fiery orange, and sunny golden-yellow petals with contrasting eye rings—this variety creates a dense, multi-tonal carpet of iridescent daisy-like flowers throughout the warm season.
Supplied established in a 15cm nursery container, this hardy indigenous succulent forms a tight, creeping mat of fleshy, needle-like emerald-green leaves that hug the ground. Its blossoms open wide under bright sunshine, completely cloaking the foliage in radiant colour. Thriving in high-heat and low-water environments, it is the ideal choice for rockeries, dry borders, retaining wall edges, and water-wise patio bowls.

💧 Exceptional Water-Wise Plant: Succulent stems and leaves store moisture, requiring minimal irrigation
🐝 Pollinator Favourite: Bright open petals attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial garden pollinators
Care & Maintenance
- Light: Plant in full, direct sun. Blossoms require bright daylight to open to their full diameter.
- Watering: Water moderately while establishing, then reduce watering significantly. Once mature, occasional soaking during prolonged dry spells is all that is required. Ensure perfect drainage.
- Feeding: Requires very little feeding; a light feed with a diluted low-nitrogen succulent fertiliser in spring is more than sufficient.
- Grooming: Remove any withered flowering stems or dead foliage in early spring to keep the mat neat and encourage fresh branching.
