Granita® Orange Ice Plant

Granita® Orange is the Delosperma selection ‘PJS02S’, a low, vigorous groundcover with large, iridescent rusty-orange flowers. Plant Select describes blooms from spring through fall and notes that the flowers provide nectar for bees. ## Garden Use This dense, ground-hugging mat suits sunny borders, containers, rock gardens, and other places where a small flowering groundcover can spread. The profile gives a mature height of 1–2 inches and a width of 10–14 inches. Its USDA hardiness range is zones 5–8. ## Growing Conditions Grow it in full sun in loam or sandy soil with good drainage. Water moderately to lightly once established, allowing the soil to dry between watering rather than keeping it saturated. The orange selection is noted for helping save water, but the source does not give a specific irrigation schedule. Read the [Plant Select Granita® Orange profile](https://plantselect.org/plant/delosperma-pjs02s/) for its selection-specific name, code, dimensions, flowering season, and pollination value. ## Maintenance Allow the mat room to spread and check it occasionally for gaps. Keep the soil well drained through wet seasons; Plant Select recommends letting the groundcover grow without routine commercial trimming.
