Crassula capitella 'Campfire' variegata features long leaves replete with shades of bright green, cream, and blush pink – all of which take on an even richer hue when exposed to bright sunlight. ‘Campfire’ variegata’s unique growth habit means that the plant will remain low-growing even at maturity, reaching a maximum height of only 6 inches and a maximum spread of up to 3 feet!

Like most Crassula, this variety bears relatively simple care requirements, though bright light is a must for this succulent’s leaves to really shine. Ample airflow, a very porous soil mixture, and a well-draining pot will shield against overwatering, rot, or pests. A thorough but infrequent watering routine will round out ‘Campfire’ variegata’s care, further safeguarding against dampness around the plant’s root system.

Hardy only to Zone 10, be sure to protect these stunning leaves from frost – and as the winter temperatures give way to spring, expect to see white blooms emerge from the tip of each branch.
