Crassula natalensis 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 natalensis is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape Provinces. It is synonymously known as Crassula rubescens, Crassula rubescens var. intermedia, Crassula rubescens var. laxa and Crassula sessilifolia. Crassula natalensis is a striking species. Its flowers stems reach 20 cm tall. These arise from attractive basal rosettes.
