Crassula capitella
campfire plant
Description
Crassula capitella, often called campfire plant, is a succulent that showcases vibrant color changes, adding a dynamic element to any garden. Native to South Africa, this Crassula species features tightly packed, triangular leaves that turn shades of red and orange in response to sunlight stress. The plant's appearance resembles a small, flaming campfire. During the summer, Crassula capitella produces small, white or pinkish flowers that add to its appeal. This succulent is an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or container plantings, where its color variations can be fully appreciated. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and can tolerate drought conditions. To encourage vibrant coloration, provide ample sunlight. Propagate easily by cuttings, making it simple to expand your collection or share with friends. The red color is especially vivid during the cooler months.
