Crassula alba var alba
white Crassula
Description
Crassula alba var alba is a succulent known for its dense, compact growth habit and delicate appearance. This variety is characterized by its small, rounded leaves that often take on reddish hues when exposed to sunlight. The plant typically grows into a low-growing, spreading mat, making it suitable for rock gardens, containers, or ground cover. In the summer, it produces small, star-shaped white flowers that appear in clusters. Crassula alba is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, typical of many succulents. To propagate, take stem cuttings and allow them to callous over before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant season, to prevent rot.
