Anacampseros rufescens Seeds

DESCRIPTION: These succulent plants are originally from South Africa. They form rosettes of smooth or hairy, fleshy leaves, which may be lance-shaped or almost round. These small plants can reach a height of up to 15cm when mature. The flat, wheel-shaped flowers grow intermittently throughout the year, but mostly in the summer. They open in the afternoon and close in early evening. They range in color from white to pale purple. The blossoms are self-fertile; producing seeds in a cup of erect filaments that are dispersed by the wind. 

The more exposure to light this plants receives, the more vivid the colors of the leaves.

A. rufescens is a pretty hybrid with leaves varying from green at the base to pink and yellow at the tips. This species forms rosettes up to 4 inches across. On hot days, its pink, 3/4-inch flowers will open. This plant won't tolerate frost or hot sun all day long. These plants are excellent for growing in a greenhouse, windowsill, or outdoors in warm climates.
