Crassula pellucida is a versatile and popular succulent plant native to South Africa. It can be found as a creeping ground-cover or a low-growing shrub and is known for its ability to thrive in shady conditions. The plant has small, ovate-rounded leaves with faintly toothed margins and produces pink-white star-shaped flowers in the Autumn or late Summer. There are three recognized subspecies of Crassula pellucida, each with its own unique characteristics and distribution within South Africa. This plant is a popular choice for cultivation due to its adaptability and attractive appearance.
