Campfire Crassula is a prostate branching evergreen succulent that forms mats of fleshy propeller-like foliage that transitions from light green to bright red as it matures. Infrequently in summer small clusters of lightly fragrant white flowers rest on the foliage. Best color with full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
