Crassula portulacea ibrida, sometimes called Crassula ‘Gollum’, is a shrub-forming succulent plant featuring green, tubular succulent leaves topped by adorable ears with red margins.

Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and containers or is happy to adapt as a houseplant.
