Crassula Gollum

Common Name:
Gollum Jade

Description:
Crassula ovata 'Gollum' is a highly distinctive and sculptural succulent, recognised for its unusual tubular, finger-like leaves that resemble small suction cups at the tips. The vibrant green foliage is often accented with red edges, particularly when grown in full sun or under mild stress, adding visual interest and colour contrast. This evergreen succulent forms a compact, branching shrub over time, making it ideal for pots, bonsai styling, or as a feature in rockeries and succulent gardens. Well-suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and requires minimal watering once established. In cooler months, mature plants may produce clusters of small, star-shaped white to pale pink flowers, enhancing its seasonal appeal. Its quirky form and low-maintenance nature make it a standout addition to both indoor and outdoor plant collections.
