Crassula ovata f. variegata

Highlights

Crassula ovata f. variegata: an unnamed variegate with a gorgeous cherry red and cream coloration. It's an easy grower and, with enough light, you can see the best of the colors it has to offer.

Jade is a forgiving grower and makes a great choice for beginners and low light rooms, though it can revert back to green when when unstressed by sun and heat. It has excellent resistance to pests, disease, deer, and neglect. Just give it a well-draining soil, protection from hard frost, and a deep watering when the soil is completely dry. Eventually, mature, outdoor shrubs do not need irrigation at all. You can even observe C. ovata shrink during droughts and swell when rehydrated. Jade reproduces readily from cuttings and produces dense clusters of white, star-shaped blossoms in the winter.

After trials by the Royal Horticultural Society, 'Hummel's Sunset' won the Award of Garden Merit in 1993.

Crassula can show tiny white or black dots on their leaves. These are healthy, water-transferring pores called "hydathodes" and not a sign of disease.
