Crassula ovata or the Jade Plant is a succulent soft wooded perennial that has brown fleshy stems that branch in a gnarled tree-like manner and its leaves are a glossy bright green and oval shaped and sometimes edged in red.
If grown in high light situations, they will produce clusters of small white star-shaped flowers from autumn through winter.
This is a popular patio or veranda plant and looks best in a large tub.
Prefers lots of light - but will grow in shaded positions quite well.
