Copper pinwheel is a striking succulent featuring large, variegated rosettes with green and white leaves that are edged in a prominent coppery red. It reaches up to 18 inches (45 cm) tall, with its vibrant foliage standing out on sturdy stalks. Best coloration is achieved with full sun to bright shade exposure and moderate watering. Copper pinwheel is sensitive to cold and should be protected from frost, as it can be damaged by temperatures below 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 degrees Celsius). Its rosettes provide a distinctive visual appeal in a garden or as container plants.
