📌 Product Description
Crassula capitella ‘Campfire’ is a vibrant, low-growing succulent renowned for its fiery red foliage that intensifies in full sun. Its stacked, pointed leaves transition from lime green in partial shade to brilliant crimson in bright conditions, creating a dramatic groundcover effect.
This fast-spreading succulent forms dense mats, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and water-wise landscapes. In summer, it produces small white star-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully against the bold foliage.
A striking, drought-tolerant succulent perfectly suited to South African gardens seeking bold colour with minimal maintenance.
