Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

Malephora crocea var. purpureo-crocea is a succulent plant, one of those commonly and incorrectly referred to as fat plants.

Malephora crocea is a non-trampling evergreen groundcover with fleshy blue-green foliage. It forms a very dense groundcover whose stems root upon contact with the soil. In spring, it produces flowers in rich shades ranging from purplish-red to orange. Flowering continues until midsummer, then resumes in early autumn.

  • Growth habit and height: low-growing, creeping succulent groundcover whose stems root upon contact with the soil; not suitable for walking on.
  • Foliage: evergreen, fleshy, blue-green.
  • Flowering: from spring to midsummer and again in early autumn, daisy-like flowers ranging from reddish-purple to orange.
  • Hardiness: highly resistant to drought and salt spray, grows in sandy, gravelly or rocky soils.
  • Ideal for: groundcover, slopes, borders, rock gardens and coastal gardens.
  • Soil: various types, provided they are well-drained.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Watering: moderate during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: not necessary; simply remove dry parts.

In spring and summer it is covered with daisy-like flowers in bright colours, ranging from reddish-purple to orange and even yellow. Flowering continues until midsummer and then resumes in early autumn.

A groundcover succulent that loves full sun and well-drained, sandy, gravelly or rocky soils. Once established, it requires very little water and is drought- and salt-tolerant. It does not need pruning: simply remove the dry parts.

For a contrast of colors, it is paired with grasses such as Stipa tenuissima or plants with silvery foliage such as Helichrysum italicum.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
