Overview

The Emerald Jade Carpet, Crassula multicava, is an evergreen succulent offering a lush, low-maintenance ground cover. With a height of 6 to 12 inches and a spread of 24 to 30 inches, its thick, flat leaves create a dense mat. Tiny, star-shaped flowers bloom in clusters above the foliage in winter to early spring, adding seasonal interest. Drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soil and full to partial sun.
