Crassula deceptor Seeds - Indigenous South African Native Succulent Seeds from Africa

Crassula deceptor Seeds

South African Indigenous Succulent

Crassula is a large genus of succulent plants containing many species, including the popular Jade Plant, Crassula ovata. They are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties are almost exclusively from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Crassulas make the most wonderful pot plants. They can also be grown indoors as house plants. Those that make excellent house plants are the glossy leaf varieties. Crassulas, given a rich, well-drained medium will grow fast and luxuriantly. Crassula deceptor is a perennial succulent indigenous to South Africa. It grows to 15cm tall and has ovate leaves forming 4-angled columns on the stems. During summer it puts on a lovely show of cream coloured scented flowers in  dense heads. They do well in pots filled with a well-drained growing medium and grow best in dappled shade. The seeds of Crassula deceptor are best sown during autumn.
