Crassula 'Shark Tooth' is one of our personal favorites. A densely stacked Crassula variety that will reach up 7'' tall and will spread as a ground cover and turn dark red in full sun. This succulent will bloom in the Fall with clusters of tiny white flowers that attract butterflies and humming birds to your drought tolerant landscape. A unique succulent that will look great in a hanging planter or as a spiller for your succulent arrangements. A must have in your succulent collection.

Watering Needs Indoors: Instead of giving your succulents gradual sips of water throughout the week, give them a good soaking, to the point where water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer, succulents do not like to sit in water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
