Description

Crassula rupestris (rosary vine) grows into a small mound (under a foot tall). The leaves are thick, opposite, just barely 1/4” long, and arranged neatly along the stem, giving it a square look. The base of the plant's stems take on a stiffer feel and woody look with age. During summertime, the leaf margins turn red or yellow.The flowers are grouped in clusters, star shaped and white/pale pink with pink centers. In habitat, crassulas usually grow in rocky quartz fields. Summer dormant. As a vertical/mound-y grower, it looks good in containers with low, spreading succulents, among other forms.
