Succulent 'Sand Rose' 2"

Sometimes fabulous prizes come in small packages. This is particularly true with Anacampseros rufescens 'Sand Rose', a petite purple people charmer that is ideal in a decorative windowsill pot or as a dish garden accent. But that's not all! In a border or terraced planter, over time, the rosettes will spread to form a green-purple mat, like a miniature groundcover. White hairs, a common Anacampseros trait, add interest. While it should do well in filtered light, more direct light will have its olive-green leaves turning purple to reddish-brown. And then there's the flowers! Fetching blooms that will win hearts with their pink to pinkish-purple petals. Single flowers are pink to rose-purple, 3/4" wide; they open in late afternoon and close around dusk. Drought tolerant and suitable for rock gardens and xeriscaping.
