Crassula perforata ssp. kougaensis

Introducing the exquisite Crassula perforata ssp. kougaensis, a captivating succulent that hails from the rugged terrains of South Africa. This particular species is a marvel of nature, featuring tightly stacked leaves that spiral around its stem, creating a striking columnar shape. The leaves themselves are a spectacle, displaying a harmonious blend of silvery green and pink, especially when kissed by the sun, which deepens their hue and adds to the plant's overall allure.

Crassula perforata ssp. kougaensis, commonly referred to as 'String of Buttons' due to its unique appearance, typically grows to a modest height and width of about 12 inches. Its growth habit makes it an ideal choice for adding texture and vertical interest in succulent arrangements, rock gardens, or as a standalone specimen in a minimalist pot. As the plant matures, it may gently spill over the edges of containers, lending a delicate cascading effect that enhances its charm.

While it's a relatively low-maintenance succulent, thriving in well-draining soil and requiring minimal watering, it rewards the attentive gardener with clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that emerge in spring. These blooms add an extra layer of beauty to the plant, making it a truly multifaceted addition to any succulent collection.

Whether you're a seasoned succulent collector or a novice looking to add some green to your space, Crassula perforata ssp. kougaensis offers a blend of ease and aesthetic appeal that's hard to beat. Its resilience and striking appearance make it a standout choice for those seeking to bring a touch of South Africa's natural beauty into their home or garden.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
