Ignite Your Garden with the 'Red Pagoda' Plant (Crassula capitella)
Origin & History: Crassula capitella is a species native to southern Africa, where it thrives in sunny, rocky habitats from Namibia to South Africa. The 'Campfire' cultivar has been specifically selected and propagated around the world for its exceptional ability to develop intense red and orange pigmentation when exposed to sun. Its name perfectly captures its appearance, evoking the warmth and vibrant energy of a crackling campfire.
Health & Environmental Benefits: This beautiful succulent helps to improve its surrounding environment by purifying the air. Psychologically, its energetic and passionate red color can invigorate a space, creating a feeling of warmth, vitality, and excitement. It is a natural mood-booster and a fantastic way to bring the dynamic beauty of a fire element into a garden design safely.
Care Guide: Achieving the brilliant red color is the primary goal of cultivating this plant.
Versatile Uses: The Campfire Crassula is a versatile design tool. It can be mass-planted to create a stunning "sea of fire" effect as a groundcover. In container gardens, its branching stems will weave through other plants, adding pops of red throughout the arrangement. It also works wonderfully in hanging baskets, where its colorful stems can trail down in a fiery cascade. Its fine texture provides a beautiful contrast to bold, architectural plants.
