Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset' golden jade plant
Shrubby jade plant, this with leaves flushed and margined with golden yellow and copper-red along the
margins. This one is a little smaller, denser, and more compact than the species, reaching only 2-3 ft high.
Fine in bright light or dappled shade with little water necessary. Does not tolerate frost so best in containers
to be moved indoors when weather becomes cold. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10.
1g @ $12 Crassulaceae
Crassula ovata 'Tricolor' variegated jade plant
Variegated jade plant, the dark green, succulent leaves decorated with creamy white irregular markings. A
lovely shrub and slow-growing, reaching only 1 ft tall in several years, in bright light or part shade. Very
drought tolerant, needing only occasional water in summer and almost none in winter unless grown in
container and requiring a bit more frequent attention. A fine succulent shrub outdoors where temperatures
don't drop below freezing. Otherwise a happy container plant spending at least the winter months indoors in
bright light.
4D @ $12 Crassulaceae
Echeveria 'Ruffles'
Ruffled red edges mark the green leaves of this rosette forming succulent, creating interesting colors and a
lovely texture. To 12" tall and best in a bit of shade outdoors, otherwise bright light, with good drainage and
occasional water in summer and much less in winter. Frost hardy to 30F, USDA zone 10. Fine in containers
and a cheerful addition to a succulent collection.
1g @ $11 Crassulaceae
Pelargonium 'Bird Dancer'
A fetching Stellar geranium, the foliage shaped like a ruffled maple leaf has bands of dark maroon color, the
perfect background for the pale pink "bird's foot" flowers held in dense, frilly clusters above the dark leaves
from spring to early autumn. This is a dwarf form remaining under a foot tall and wide in full sun to part
shade with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10 and a perfect container plant where temperatures
drop below freezing.
4D @ $6 Geraniaceae
Plectranthus sp. - trailing silver leaf
For gardens or containers, just for this summer as these aren't winter hardy. But the large, silver foliage with
spires of blue-pink blossoms is nice just for a season in the garden or in containers. Full to part sun with
summer water. To 6" tall x 18" wide. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10.
4in @ $4 Lamiaceae
x Gasteraloe 'Midnight'
An intergeneric cross between an aloe and a gasteria, by Kelly Griffin of Rancho Soledad Nursery, resulting
in a rosette-forming succulent, to 8-12" tall x 1-2 ft wide. The leaves are rough-textured with bitty bumps,
dark green with red highlights. Flowers are orange in late winter, early spring. Only successful in the ground
in USDA zone 10, but elsewhere, a good pot plant or year round houseplant. Bright light with well-drained
soil and little water.
