Slow grower so far..but nobody buys these expecting them to be anything but small rock garden like Crassula family plants.

They have small tube like flowers with fringes and a pinkish line run through every petal. they branch off singling off a long thick stalk which ends with a whole bunch of white flowers at the end of the flowering period which usually happens before it gets chilly and cold in Fall.
I sell this plant at fetes and fairs. everyone feels comfortable buying them and they're easy to look after.
Though, for some people the flowers are a bit insignificant and the plant look doesn't change much. But if you're looking for a small trusty evergreen that will last and last in a bit of sun - this is it.

But it will start moving its leaves to one side of this circle, away from harsh light. This usually gives you enough time to notice the plant, move it, and still not lose any leaves.
It propogates easily from leaf cuttings. Quickly putting out roots, but does take a while to produce a small plant.
With its weird shape, fuzzy leaves, and tolerance of beginner error, I would definitely recommend this plant to others. It's a wonder I haven't killed it yet. And an even bigger surprise that I have managed to produce more.

Has nice teddy-bear shaped fuzzy leaves with crimped ends (like pie crust). Slowly spreads in garden but not invasive. Many other species do far better in pots here, and more prone to rot if watered too much.
