Notes
'Campfire' pygmy weed (Crassula capitella 'Campfire') is a succulent for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It stays evergreen, tolerates drought, and can spread 24 to 36 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with California fescue, Rose verbena, and Golden yarrow.
