Jade Plant
Crassula Ovata
Overview
Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is a succulent heralding from South Africa, celebrated for its glossy, fleshy, ovate leaves. This hardy perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring minimal water once established. Typically growing between 2-4 feet tall, it's an excellent choice for low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes. Its woody stems and star-shaped flowers add year-round interest, particularly in winter when it blooms. Ideal for USDA zones 9-11.
