Crassula ovata ‘Sunset’ is a Jade Plant but so much flashier! The typically green leaves gain yellow margins and red edges that brighten even more in winter. The fleshy, succulent foliage grows from thick, woody branches and forms a mounding shrub. Makes an excellent bonsai tree! Clusters of small white flowers appear from fall to spring. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Golden Jade is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
