ISI 2024-13. Crassula socialis Schoen

This charming crassula is native to the E. Cape of S. Africa where it grows in shady rock crevices. This suggests the growing conditions necessary to keep this plant flourishing in cultivation. This clone has done well for us in the shade of other plants growing on a bench between two greenhouses that provide morning and afternoon shade. Therefore, it is only exposed to dappled sun midday. It thrives here forming compact mounds, ornamented in spring with compact clusters of white flowers. We offer divisions of HBG 126514, from the Barad collection acquired May 2, 2016. $10.
