Crassula coccinea – deep pink Crassula 🌿
Crassula coccinea is a vibrant, upright-growing succulent known for its dense clusters of scarlet-red star-shaped flowers and fleshy, green triangular leaves. Native to South Africa, it puts on a fiery floral show in summer and adds colour and structure to sunny windowsills or rock gardens.
Key Features:
✔ Produces bright pink flowers in summer that attract pollinators
✔ Compact, upright habit with neatly stacked foliage
✔ Great for containers, succulent displays, or Mediterranean-style gardens
✔ Drought-tolerant and easy to maintain
✔ A colourful contrast to softer-toned succulents
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Thrives in full sun to bright, indirect light – more sun encourages better flowering
-
Watering: Let soil completely dry between waterings – avoid overwatering
-
Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix
-
Feeding: Feed sparingly in spring/summer with a low-nitrogen succulent fertiliser
-
Temperature: Prefers warmth – keep above 10°C; protect from frost
-
Pruning: Trim spent flowers to maintain tidy growth
🌿 Tip: Place in a sunny spot to maximise bloom potential, and don’t crowd it – this plant loves airflow.
