This beautiful Crassula has green tubed leaves with bright red tips. It is a monstrose (abnormal or distorted) version of Crassula ovata. It does well planted in containers.
‘Hobbit’ is vera sensitive to over-watering, so err on the side of under-watering this species. It grows well as part of a low light succulent garden. Watch for white to pale pink flowers in the Spring.
