Anacampseros rufescens: A Purple-Leaved, Caudiciform Succulent

Anacampseros rufescens is a charming, low-growing succulent that forms dense mats of small, fleshy, obovate leaves. The leaves are green on top but a vivid, deep purple-red underneath and along the margins, especially in bright light. It has a thickened, caudex-like base and produces delicate, pink flowers that open in the afternoon. It's perfect for shallow dishes, rockeries, and hanging baskets.
