The Drosanthemum speciosum Embers, known as Royal dewflower, is a vibrant, sun-loving succulent shrub that turns heads with its fiery blooms and compact, mounding habit. Native to South Africa, this eye-catching plant has become increasingly popular in drought-tolerant gardens and rock landscapes for its brilliant floral display and easy-care nature. The cultivar 'Embers' is especially prized for its warm-toned red to orange flowers that seem to glow in the sunlight, creating a bold contrast against the plant’s lush green stems. 

The Drosanthemum Embers forms a low, rounded mound with semi-woody stems densely covered in fleshy, cylindrical green leaves. These leaves are often coated with tiny glistening bladder cells that give them a dew-kissed look—hence the name "Dewflower."  

The plant remains relatively compact, growing to about 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide, making it ideal for containers, ground covers, borders, and sunny slopes.

It’s also deer-resistant and highly attractive to pollinators.

It is also known as Vygie, or Ice Plant (though technically not a true Ice Plant like Delosperma).

The Drosanthemum speciosum 'Embers' flowers are bright orange to red daisy-like with yellow centers, blooming typically in late spring to early summer, and occasionally in the fall in mild climates.

The blossoms open during sunny hours and close at night or on cloudy days, adding dynamic interest to garden spaces. These vivid flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding an ecological benefit to their ornamental value. 

Like most succulents, opens in a new tab, this Drosanthemum plant thrives in well-draining  succulent soil, opens in a new tab for healthy growth. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot.

For indoor growth, place the plant near a south or west-facing window with plenty of bright, direct light, and maintain indoor temperatures between 60°F to 80°F. 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

In cooler climates, it can be grown in pots and brought indoors during winter.

Light pruning after blooming helps maintain shape and encourages new growth. 

The Drosanthemum speciosum ‘Embers’ is easily propagated through stem cuttings, typically taken in spring or summer.

Allow the cut ends to callous over for a day or two before planting in a gritty soil mix. Water sparingly until roots form.  

According to ASPCA, the Drosanthemum species are not considered toxic to pets or humans, making them a safer choice for households with animals.  

Final Thoughts

Overall, Drosanthemum speciosum ‘Embers’ (Royal dewflower) is a standout choice for gardeners looking to add bold color and structure to their landscapes without increasing maintenance. Its fire-toned flowers, shimmering foliage, and resilience in tough conditions make it both a functional and decorative asset. Whether grown alone in a container or nestled among other succulents and groundcovers, it delivers a burst of brilliance that enhances any garden space with minimal effort.

Yes !
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I order these every summer. My youngest is sensitive to sunscreens but this had always worked for him. The stick is handy when it comes time to re-apply and can stick in my purse for a quick trip to the park.

Great for running!
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen does the job and does it well! It doesn’t smear or run and I didn’t experience any stinging around my eyes. Also, my face felt super soft after my 5K which was a nice bonus!

Easy Sun Protection for Wiggly Babies
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This product is easy to apply, even with a wiggly 10-month-old – which is saying something! Despite the challenge of a moving target, I will definitely purchase this again because it's a great applicator and provides excellent sun protection.

Gentle enough for my child to use on their own at school
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My child has been using this Aveeno sunscreen since they were a baby.👶 It’s always been gentle on their skin, and we’ve never had any issues with irritation or rashes. The texture is thick, more like a balm, so it doesn’t run or make a mess.Now that they’re older and going to school, I pack it in their backpack. The small jar is easy for them to open and apply by themselves before recess or outdoor activities. They usually put it on their face and arms, and it spreads easily without feeling sticky. I like that it’s not heavily scented and doesn’t leave a white film on their skin.❤️❤️❤️It’s been reliable over the years, and the size makes it easy to keep on hand.
