{"title":"Ruschia","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you ever find yourself exploring the deserts and veldts of South Africa, one of the most beautiful sites you will see is a dry valley covered with a carpet of blooming ruschia. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wild, ruschia grows in exposed, xeric conditions and a few species live in high altitude sites which gives them enough cold hardiness to grow in the Southeast US. Ruschia is a low growing, succulent-leaved plant that is covered with brightly-colored (usually pink or red), scented flowers in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike many South African plants, ruschia has adapted to just a few inches of rain per year and does not survive well in situations where its feet stay wet, especially in winter. It is important to plant ruschia in fast-draining soil on a slope or in a raised bed to ensure its survival in winter. Ruschia looks great in a rock garden, cascading over a wall, or in a container.
