Malephora crocea var. purpureo-crocea is a succulent plant, one of those commonly and incorrectly called succulents.

Malephora crocea is a non-trampling evergreen groundcover with fleshy blue-green foliage. It grows into 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.

This plant requires little water and is quite drought-tolerant. Thanks to its high salt tolerance, Malephora crocea will be an excellent addition to your coastal garden.

In spring, flowers bloom in rich shades ranging from reddish-purple to orange; the flowering lasts until midsummer, then resumes in early autumn.

Succulent groundcover that prefers exposure to full sun. It requires little water and is quite drought-tolerant. Thanks to its high resistance to salt spray, it is ideal for coastal gardens; it can withstand temperatures between -5°C and -10°C.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
