SUNRISE SUCCULENT – LIVE PLANT (Anacampseros rufescens ‘Sunrise’ / Anacampseros telephiastrum ‘Sunset’)
Meet one of the most stunning and colorful succulents you‘ll ever own! The Sunrise Succulent, also known as Sand Rose, features a beautiful, compact rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that display a breathtaking gradient — from deep green at the center to vibrant pink and orange flushes at the edges, just like a sunrise. Native to South Africa, this clump-forming succulent is a must-have for any plant lover.
Its most charming feature? The white filament-like hairs that grow from the leaf axils, giving the plant a soft, “snowy” appearance — which is exactly how it got its Chinese name “Blowing Snow Pine Brocade” (). In spring, it rewards you with beautiful rose-pink flowers.
