"Rainbow Jade" or "Hummel's Sunset" is a cultivar of Crassula ovata, formerly C. argentea, which is known for its golden yellow leaves with bright red tips. This feature is intensified when grown in full sun. This cultivar was developed by Ed Hummel and won the 1993 Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. "Hummel's Sunset" is perfect for creating bonsai type houseplants or used in landscaping.
The name Crassula comes from the Latin "crassus" meaning thick, which refers to the fleshy leaves and stems of the plants in this genus. Crassula contains over 200 species of succulent type plants, the majority of which come from the southern tip of Africa. This genus has a wide variety of sizes, ranging from 1" miniature succulents to 6' dense shrubs. They can grow into erect shrubs or mini-trees, or remain prostrate as groundcovers or clumps of rosettes.
Crassula prefer full sun to partial shade, however intense afternoon sun can burn foliage. Most species can be grown indoors if given a large south facing window. Propagation is generally easy and can be done by leaf or stem cuttings, and even seed. Crassula are best planted in well draining soil, and are susceptible to root rot or fungus if overwatered. Many species go dormant when temperatures go too high or low. Some varieties of these succulents are hardy but most will not survive a hard frost.

We always do our best to ship the largest and healthiest succulents we have available. But size and color may vary based on multiple factors including time of year, growing temps, length of days, and their growing seasons. Succulents generally slow down and almost stop growing during the coldest months of the year, but come spring and summer you can often see growth in just days.

Some containers may have 1,2,3, and even 4 smaller rooted plants, this can also vary based on the species and the way they grow, vertical vs horizontal being possible factors. Containers are basic plastic nursery stock with colors are usually orange or black, and approx. 2" tall and across the top.
