Not your everyday Jade Plant…this low growing form displays distinctive wavy blue green foliage which develops a faint red line at the leaf edges when temperatures are on the cool side. Great textural element for mixed planters or it can be used as specimen. Like most of its kin, this wavy Jade Plant is tough to kill. Grows 6-8" tall and 10-12" wide.

Just like the good old jade plant, only better!! Grows the bonsai tree shape just like the regular jade, but the leaves are blueish with reddish margins and are as wavy as potato chips. Really unique and special jade variety. Grows just as easily, drought and poor soil tolerant. Can be pruned for beginner easy bonsai.
