Jade Crassula ‘Gollum’ is a striking succulent known for its unique tubular, finger-like leaves that taper into rounded tips, often resembling little green trumpets. The leaves are fleshy, vibrant green, and sometimes develop reddish edges when exposed to bright sunlight or cooler temperatures. This plant grows from a compact, woody-stemmed base and has a sculptural, almost whimsical appearance, making it a favorite for container gardens, rockeries, or as an indoor ornamental. During summer, it can produce small clusters of star-shaped white or pink flowers, adding a delicate contrast to its bold foliage.
