Crassula ovata Red Edge is a truly waterwise and proudly ‘Safrikan’ succulent with green ovate leaves, edged in bright red. Highly scented, dainty, light pink flowers are borne in late autumn. These low-maintenance winners grow well as small shrubs and groundcovers in rockeries, pots, beds and borders, especially in mixed plantings with other water-smart plants.
Care Tips
- Light: Bright light to full sun; good sunlight enhances the red leaf margins.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering.
- Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
