Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’

Description

The intricate architecture of this cultivar is completely mesmerising. Grey-green leaves are stacked tightly, turning upward at their tips, with a pale red tinge sometimes appearing at the edges. Square-shaped columns of Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’ reach only 15cm in height, but as the plant matures it will branch out. This compact and clean-cut design resembles a Chinese temple, commonly known as ‘Buddha’s Temple’.
