Popular Crassula Succulent Types in New Zealand

1. Crassula capitella Campfire

Among crassula succulent types, Crassula capitella Campfire (Crassula capitella Campfire Plant) stands out for its fiery leaf tips. As sunlight intensifies, the bright green foliage transforms into hues of vivid orange and red—just like glowing embers. This low-growing, spreading succulent is perfect for edging garden beds or adding a pop of colour to a patio planter. It also thrives in rock gardens and can tolerate periods of drought, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens.

2. Crassula coccinea

Another eye-catching specimen is Crassula coccinea. Characterised by its upright growth and clusters of vibrant scarlet flowers in summertime, this crassula variety brings dramatic flair to mixed succulent borders. Its bold blooms attract pollinators, and its compact size makes it a versatile choice for pots, window sills, or courtyard gardens.

3. Crassula arborescens

For those who prefer a more shrub-like succulent, Crassula arborescens is a classic pick. Commonly known as the Silver Dollar Plant or Jade Plant, it features silvery-blue, rounded foliage dusted with red margins. Perfect as a statement plant in containers or as a hardy garden specimen, Crassula arborescens is celebrated for its longevity and tolerance to intermittent watering.

4. Crassula pellucida variegata

If you're after a trailing variety with colourful foliage, Crassula pellucida variegata is an excellent choice. Its heart-shaped leaves display pale green centres with creamy edges and hints of pink, making it a charming addition to hanging baskets or as a cascading groundcover. This crassula looks especially lovely tumbling over the sides of pots or supplementing mixed succulent plantings.

5. Crassula sarmentosa Comet

With its star-shaped leaves edged in deep pink, Crassula sarmentosa Comet adds a whimsical touch to any plant display. This trailing succulent is highly adaptable and can be used in hanging pots, as a filler in garden beds, or as an indoor feature with bright filtered light.

Growing and Caring for Crassula Succulent Types
