Crassula sarmentosa Variegata or the Showy Trailing Jade plant is an excellent succulent for hanging baskets, with the fleshy, gently toothed, triangular foliage in green and cream stripes cascading down for an attractive display all year round.
Planted in the ground it forms a neat, spreading mound that works well as a ground cover or feature. They also go perfectly in rockeries and make good liners to pathways or spilling over the edge of larger planters when combined with other plants.
The more sun it gets, the brighter the foliage, though it will grow happily in a fair amount of shade too.
In late summer it produces terminal clusters of small white to pink flowers that are held aloft on erect stems. They are generally not considered a major feature though.
