Crassula pellucida variegata

Crassula pellucida variegata Details

Crassula pellucida variegata, commonly known as Calico Kitten, is grown for its colourful foliage and creeping growth habit. It forms a carpet of small and succulent leaves that are variegated green and pink. The pink colouring intensifies during hot weather or when the plant is moisture stressed. These are held off short, creeping stems. It typically grows to 10 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate light frost only but will survive extended dry periods. Crassula pellucida variegata is commonly grown indoors, used in rock gardens, or grown along the edge of a path where it can spill out. It is also well suited to planting around outdoor living areas such as pools and growing in hanging baskets.
