Crassula argentea 'Variegata' has beautiful fleshy leaves marbled with green and white. In bright light to sun the edges flush a tint of magenta. Some refer to this jade as "tricolor". Has the same growing habit as regular Jade. A very easy care houseplant.

Striped or Variegated Jade. Multihued green and creamy white foliage on a sturdy upright slow growing plant. Our stock plant is only 15" tall x 6" after 7 years.

Variegated jade plant, the dark green, succulent leaves decorated with creamy white irregular markings. A lovely shrub and slow-growing, reaching only 1' tall in several years, in bright light or part shade. Very drought tolerant, needing only occasional water in summer and almost none in winter unless grown in container and requiring a bit more frequent attention. A fine succulent shrub outdoors where temperatures don't drop below freezing. Otherwise a happy container plant spending at least the winter months indoors in bright light.
