Ruschia macowanii is a very hardy, small, evergreen succulent shrublet with small warty leaves. The slightly woody stems give it a weeping shape when cascading over rocks or the edge of a retaining wall. It is very drought tolerant.
It bears such massed flowers that one cannot see the leaves. These beautiful, glistening Fuchsia pink flowers with a dark stripe, adorn the plant from July to October. The flowers attract a whole host of insects which in turn attract wildlife to the garden. Plant a few together to maximize the show of flowers.
Use in terraces, rock gardens and mixed dry succulent bed. With its cascading habit it is beautiful in a container. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and be careful not to overwater.
The common name is derived from the fact that these plants were used to thatch huts.
