Sunset Jade

Common name:Sunset Jade
Botanical name:Crassula argentea 'Sunset'

Sunset Jade is a brilliantly colored sport of the Jade plant, revealing bright yellow leaf pigments accented by crimson margins, and should be grown in full sun to maintain its colors. It is similar to the regular Jade Plant in its form, culture and habits, except that it is much slower growing, and hesitant to flower. This is a fantastic foliage accent for color contrast in the succulent, Mediterranean, or tropical garden. It only grows to 2 feet tall by up to 3 feet wide. Water wise; tender to frost.

String of Pearls

Common name:String of Pearls
Botanical name:Senecio rowleyanus

Senecio rowleyanus or String of Pearls has strands of pearl shaped green beads. Trailing habit, excellent in hanging containers. Not frost hardy.
