Crassula argentea is an evergreen succulent native to South Africa featuring thick, woody, tree-like stems and plump, glossy green foliage. It produces small, star-shaped, white to delicate pink flowers that grow in dense, branched clusters at the tips of the stems. While easily blooming in the outdoors, blooms are difficult to get as houseplants. Can be used as an informal hedge or screen in warm, frost-free coastal regions. Other uses include container, rock garden, xeriscaping, seaside gardens. Its shallow, non-invasive root system allows it to grow in concrete planters on walkways. Tolerates partial shade, though direct morning sun or bright, indirect light promotes healthier, more vibrant foliage. It has very low water requirements, but soil should dry completely between irrigations. It requires sandy, gravelly, gritty, and rocky soils. Poor growth in heavy clay soils, which trap moisture and trigger root rot. Resistant to deer and rabbits. Highly resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 30°F.
