Crassula decumbens brachyphylla (Crassula decumbens brachyphylla)
Description
Crassula brevifolia is a much-branched succulent sub-shrub up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall, with very thick, triangulated, green leaves on woody branches. Leaves will get a red edge in full sun. The flowers come in early fall and are pink in color. Crassula is a genus of succulent plants containing about 1480 accepted species, including the popular jade plant (Crassula ovata). They are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties originate almost exclusively from species from the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Crassulas are usually propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Most cultivated forms will tolerate some small degree of frost, but extremes of cold or heat will cause them to lose foliage and die.
