Crassula susannae (Crassula susannae)

Description

Crassula susannae is a small, succulent plant with thick tap root, up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. It grows extremely slow. A real miniature Crassula, it takes years before the plant has filled up a small pot. The low rosettes divide by the time so that a compact globe is formed. Leaves are up to 0.3 inches (7 mm) long. Flowers are white and blooms in mid fall. This species has been used decades ago to develop very interesting hybrids, like Crassula ‘Celia’ and Crassula ‘Dorothy’.
