Ruschia Rostella

Ruschia rostella is a striking succulent native to southern Africa, known for its vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of red and orange. This plant thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and xeriscaping. Its compact, rounded leaves are covered in fine, fuzzy hairs that help it retain moisture in harsh conditions. The plant's unique appearance and low maintenance requirements have made it a favorite among gardeners and plant enthusiasts. Despite its beauty, Ruschia rostella is often overlooked in favor of more common succulents.
