Description,
Notes
|
South African native succulent in
the Crassulaceae Family grown for its interesting foliage,
which turns red under cooler temperatures; Compact tidy
succulent perfect for containers or directly in the landscape
along the front border. Cold temperatures generate the
best color, but not too cold, as plant will only survive
light frosts; Drought resistant on the coast, but regular
water inland; Prefers well drained soils.
