Crassula ovata 'Hobbit'
Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' is a distinctive jade plant cultivar with unusual, tubular green leaves that curl inwards, creating an attractive trumpet-like appearance. The fleshy foliage can develop reddish tips when exposed to bright sunlight, adding further colour and character to its sculptural, branching growth habit.
Slow growing and naturally drought tolerant, 'Hobbit' is ideal for sunny windowsills, decorative pots and succulent collections. As it matures, it develops thick, woody stems and a miniature tree-like appearance, making it particularly well suited to bonsai-style displays. Its easy-care nature makes it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced succulent enthusiasts alike.

- Feature: Unusual tubular, curled green leaves with reddish tips and a compact, bonsai-like growth habit
- Eventual height: Can grow to approximately 60-75cm over time
