Crassula Argentea 'Sunset'

Design with this plant

Overview

The Sunset Jade (Crassula argentea 'Sunset') is a vibrant succulent with glossy, green leaves edged in fiery red-orange. Thriving in full sun to part shade, it prefers well-draining soil and minimal water. Maturing to a compact 2-3 feet in height and spread, this low-maintenance beauty adds year-round color and texture to rock gardens and containers. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it requires frost protection in cooler climates.
