🌟 Why You’ll Love It:
✔ Dense, creeping habit that smothers weeds
✔ Fleshy, green-red leaves add texture and colour year-round
✔ Starry pink-red summer blooms attract pollinators
✔ Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established
✔ Thrives in tough spots like gravel beds, wall crevices & shallow soil

🌞 Care Guide:
✔ Light: Prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade – stronger colours emerge in brighter light
✔ Watering: Water when soil is dry – this succulent dislikes soggy roots. In pots, allow soil to dry out between waterings
✔ Temperature: Hardy and adaptable. Tolerates frost and summer heat with ease
✔ Humidity: Prefers dry conditions and good airflow. Avoid planting in humid, closed spaces
✔ Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. Tolerates poor, sandy, or rocky soils
✔ Fertilising: Minimal feeding needed – avoid rich composts or heavy fertilisers
