Crassula Volkensii Variegated

Crassula volkensii Variegated is a rare and attractive trailing succulent known for its compact growth habit and beautifully variegated foliage. The small, oval-shaped leaves are splashed with creamy white and pale green tones, sometimes blushed with pink edges under strong light. Its trailing nature makes it perfect for hanging baskets, shelf displays, or as a spiller in succulent arrangements.

Key Characteristics:

• Botanical name: Crassula volkensii (variegated form)
