Plant Description
Introducing the Sand Rose (Anacampseros rufescens) (Sweet): A charming succulent with spiral rosettes, displaying olive green and wine red leaves. Native to South Africa's rocky shrublands, it forms lovely mats. Although small in pots, it surprises with short bloom stalks, each bearing a vibrant pink flower. Its wide, flattened blooms open in the afternoon and close at night.
