Drosanthemum speciosum 'Kliprand' is a striking mat-forming succulent from southern Africa, specifically the winter-rainfall regions of Namibia and the Cape Provinces of South Africa. This slow-growing variety features a compact growth habit, making it ideal for low-maintenance landscaping or container gardening. Its fleshy, succulent leaves are covered in shiny, translucent papillae, giving them a dewy appearance, which is the origin of its name, "dew-flower."
In spring and summer, Drosanthemum speciosum 'Kliprand' produces delicate light pink flowers that brighten any sunny spot. Its ability to tolerate poor soil conditions and withstand Australia’s dry climate makes it an excellent addition to rockeries or garden beds. It thrives in full sun and benefits from well-draining soil, particularly in arid and coastal areas where water is scarce.
Highly resilient, 'Kliprand' is suited to Australian conditions, coping with both hot summers and mild winters. This species is not only drought-tolerant but also very hardy, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners looking to add subtle colour to their landscape. Whether in a pot on your patio or as ground cover in a rock garden, this beautiful succulent brings texture and charm without demanding much care.
For best results, water sparingly and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. With minimal care, Drosanthemum speciosum 'Kliprand' will reward you with a unique, sparkling display year after year.
