Crown of thorns are evergreen succulents that are famous for their gorgeous blooms. Unbeknownst to most people, the flowers on crown of thorns plants are actually just the small center of their “blooms.” The colorful “petals” are large bracts surrounding the tiny flowers. The bracts come in vibrant shades of red, pink, and orange.
This easy-to-grow succulent originated in Madagascar. Because of this, it appreciates warm weather and can only be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 9 – 11. However, it makes an excellent house plant and can be grown year-round all over the world.
