Crassula ovata ‘Hummel’s Sunset’ is an award-winning evergreen succulent celebrated for its vibrant, ever-changing foliage. Its thick, glossy green leaves are beautifully accented with golden-yellow highlights and brilliant red margins, creating a spectacular display that becomes even more intense during the cooler months. This colourful jade plant forms a dense, bushy shrub that develops a stout grey trunk and sturdy branches with age, adding architectural interest to any landscape.
From autumn through spring, mature plants are adorned with clusters of delicate white to pale pink, star-shaped flowers that provide an elegant contrast to the colourful foliage. Exceptionally drought tolerant and easy to maintain, ‘Hummel’s Sunset’ is ideal for rockeries, succulent gardens, coastal landscapes, and decorative containers, bringing year-round colour and texture with minimal care.
