Crassula nudicaulis var. nudicaulis

Crassula nudicaulis var. nudicaulis bears flowers in rounded heads on erect, branched stems. These panicles may reach 30 cm in height when they bloom in spring and summer. The tiny individual flowers are white, but the closely clustered heads usually appear greenish or creamy, later turning light brown.

This is not one of the crassulas commonly seen in cultivation. It deserves better! The large distribution area, the many soil types where it thrives and the comparative neglect these plants will weather, should count in their favour for success in varied gardening conditions (Mustart, et al, 1997; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010).
