  • Edithcolea grandis, famously known as the Persian Carpet Flower, is a monotypic genus (the only one of its kind). It is a leafless, perennial succulent with decumbent, 4- to 5-angled stems that feature sharp, tooth-like tubercles. While the stems are architecturally fascinating, it is the plant's bloom that has earned it legendary status among botanists.

    This rare beauty is native to the arid regions of East Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania) and the Socotra Archipelago. It thrives in harsh, rocky environments, which has led to its rugged, prehistoric appearance.

    The Persian Carpet Flower is a "Holy Grail" plant for succulent collectors. Its combination of "dragon-scale" stems and world-class, ornate flowers makes it a breathtaking conversation piece. It isn't just a plant; it's a living piece of geometric art that brings a touch of the African desert into your home.

  • Bright, filtered sunlight. It loves heat but can scorch in direct, intense midday sun. Strong light is required for blooming.

    Extremely gritty. Use a mix of pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand. It requires much higher mineral content than standard succulents.

    Very Low. Extremely sensitive to overwatering. Water only when stems show slight wrinkling. Keep almost bone-dry in winter.
  • 11 – 12. Strictly a tropical/desert plant; must be kept indoors in most climates.
  • Hand-Packed with Care: Using recyclable wraps and crinkle paper, we ensure every succulent arrives healthy and in perfect condition.

    Processing: Shipped within 3-5 business days (Mon-Fri) year-round.

    Urgent Orders: Message us for shipping upgrades (additional cost).

    Destinations: We ship succulents to all 50 US states and territories, with the exception of Guam.

    Cold Weather: If under 40°F, please add a Heat Pack to your order for safety.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages
