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.

Pretty good
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
I like these because they're reduced sugar . You still get your electrolytes and they have a good mixed fruit flavor. I been buying these alot lately I like the rain berry most. It's a good deal here on Amazon and it hydrates better than water alone . They have a few flavors to choose from in this line so there's def variety.

Love the Fruit Punch Flavor!
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This fruit punch flavor diminished the overly sweet stevia taste. In addition to hydrating after activity, I use it as a low calorie sweet treat. I don't use artificial sweeteners. I drink still and sparkling water but I enjoy a sweet drink too.

Not to shabby
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
It’s OK the taste is better than G2 but worse than regular Gatorade. I wish they had more flavor variety, but I like that the sugar content is lower and you’re still getting all of the beneficial ingredients like the electrolytes. They are packaged well in nice bottles that don’t leak but are still easy to open overall I like them just wish they could find a way to make the flavor a little more potent so it doesn’t taste like regular Gatorade that’s been watered down.

Great taste without the sugar overload
Flavor Name: Fruit Punch, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
picked up a pack of Gatorade’s lower sugar drinks and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they surprised me. The flavor is still really good—doesn’t taste watered down like some “light” drinks do—and it’s not overly sweet, which I actually prefer. You still get that classic Gatorade taste and the electrolytes, just without all the sugar overload. It’s a solid option if you’re trying to cut back but still want something refreshing after work, workouts, or being outside. Overall, it hits a nice balance between taste and being a little healthier. Definitely something I’ll keep buying. Wish they had more flavors available
