Flowers: Bright red buds open pink to near white in dense apical cluster (cyme).
Blooming season: Flowers appears in every time of the yeas when conditions are appropriate.

Cultivation and Propagation: Of easy cultivation, they will require a free draining compost and good light to keep the plants compact and encourage leaf colour and flowering, but the white pruinose leaves coatings in our collection sometime is not very intense and is best to avoid to expose our plant to direct sun in summer. Morning sun only . Needs regular water in the growing season, but reduce watering during winter month , fairly drought tolerant elsewhere. After growing for several years tend to become untidy, and should be cut very short or restarted from cuttings. Crassulas are sensitive to mealybugs.
Propagation: Stem cuttings
