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.

Love them! Dog is Obsessed.
Color: Donuts
These are absolutely adorable. Just the right size for my 20 ish lb pup. They seem to be durable and made from good quality materials. They're soft and light so they don't make any noise or issues when he chucks them across the room while he's playing. Definitely great value for great price.

Fun but not for aggressive chewers
Color: Donuts, Color: Donuts
Super cute and I like that it’s like 4 toys in 1. My Yorkiepoo loved it! She wouldn’t engage with any other toys all night. Anything with a squeaker and crinkle noise, she is all over it. It’s a lot smaller than I thought, but those little donuts are just the right size to get in her mouth…and devour! She’s a fetch girl, so she had fun chasing this toy all over the house. After a day, there is only one donut left and the box. I kinda expected this since my dog’s main agenda when it comes to these kinds of toys is to how fast can I kill it so if you have an aggressive chewer like mine, it may be fun but it won’t last long.

My dog loves this toy!!!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Stick Medium
I bought this toy for my 80 lb dog who is very rough on her toys. She Loves squeaker toys. This toy held up for about 1 years which is awesome for how aggressive my dog is with her toys. I play tug of war with her with this. The squeaker didn't last too long. Somehow she broke that pretty quickly but the toy itself was very strong and durable. It's a softer rubber like material and it's bendable and twistable. After the toy broke (it actually broke in half), I purchased her another one because of how much she enjoyed it. This newer one, the squeaker still works and have had it for about 6 months or so now. I highly recommend this toy to anyone who has a dog that is an aggressive chewer and who's hard on their toys.

She goes through things pretty quick, and I know she could have destroyed ...
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Style: Stick Large
My dog is a heavy chewer, and player (Doberman). I got one of these when she was a puppy and about 2 years later it broke in half from periodic chewing and tugging. It was one of her favorites and I was impressed it lasted so long so I ordered another one. She goes through things pretty quick, and I know she could have destroyed this fast as well, but it probably helped that she had other things she was supposed to chew on instead. We never encouraged her to chew this, but she loves bringing it over so we can throw it, or tug on it. Never had any issues with the squeaker (until the first one broke in half after 2 years). I would recommend it, but try to encourage it for play and not for chewing. It is flexible and durable and handles a 70lb Doberman dangling from it periodically.

Fun!
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Style: Stick Large
This was nice and fun for my dogs. Squeegee could have last a little longer. It lasted about 2 weeks until they were bored of it but I think that’s more of a my dog issue.
