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.
