Cactus Succulent- Crassula pubescens subsp. pubescens

Crassula pubescens subsp. pubescens is a small mat-forming plant which is usually not more than a few inches tall. It has many slender stems which are initially upright, but in time they spread out laterally and root as they go, with new shoots emerging from the nodes. The leaves are spoon-shaped, succulent, and about .4 inch to 1 inch long. In the shade they are green, but in an exposed to the sun they become flushed with red. Sometimes just the edges are reddened, but often the whole plant turns beet-red. Because of its small size and spreading habit, Crassula pubescens is well-suited for use as a small-scale ground cover, or for filling in between larger plants in a dish garden or planter.

In California, the main blooming period is March and April, although the flowering may continue into early May. The slender flower stalks rise erectly well above the leaves, with minute bracts at intervals along their length. At the top is a cluster of tiny yellow/white flowers whose 5 petals jut upward rather than spreading, each one looking like a miniature white crown.
