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.

This is the one!
Color: Gray
I ended up going with another brand, which I returned because it was impossible to insert the batteries into the too-tight compartment (other reviewers had the same issue and I should have listened). So I bought this one and not only is the battery compartment ample size and easy to insert the batteries into, the company even sends you two AA batteries to start you off! I also very much appreciate the fact that you don't have to hold down the button, just push it once to start and push it again to stop. It's powerful and I love that it sits in its own stand and looks nice in my kitchen while doing so.

Great device
Color: White and Silver
This is a sweet little device and I really like it. It’s powerful and rechargeable, which is a big plus. As far as I can tell it only has one speed, so the first time I used it, it frothed so quickly that it splashed everywhere! I originally bought it not just for milk but to mix powders (like cacao or supplements) into drinks. Since it’s strong, I’ve found a workaround by quickly turning it on and off to control the mixing, and that works well. I do wish it had multiple speeds for gentler stirring, but overall it’s efficient, effective, and does a great job frothing.

Reliable and easy
Color: Black
I've bought several different frothers from various places including Amazon. None lasted, none were effective, just a waste of money. This one is ready everytime I pull it out of the drawer to use it and it has plenty of power. The charge lasts so much longer than I thought it would. It's priced well and a good product.

Perfect little mixer and frother
Color: Black
I love this little device to mix up items for a smoothie drink. It works perfectly for me. So easy to use as well! Lots of frothiness, is that a word? LoL! All I know it works for me. I use it for powdered coconut oil and a collagen powder in almond milk for a start to my morning. It has a lot of power and mixes it very well. Design is easy to use and handle in one's hand. Will know more on the longevity, at a future date. I wish it had some sort of a stand though. But I have a spot to lay it on it's side. Easy to clean or rinse off with hot water. Just remember not to immerse the whole thing into your sink of water or dishwasher. Not a good idea.

Love it--really works!
Color: Black
Thoroughly pleased with the high quality and speed of the frother with the strong sturdy whisk! Quickly turns clumps of protein powder into a perfectly creamy, smooth-textured beverage with no mess. Ability to froth nicely when desired. Intending to also use as a mini immersion blender. This powerful frother arrived fully charged and included a charging cable. The USB slot on the handle is compatible with my other chargers so I have no need to use the charging cable that came in the box with the frother. The handle/grip is well made and comfortable to hold. Love the sturdy whisk, simple on-off button, and that it's rechargeable and easy to clean. Works perfectly and highly recommend!
