Description

Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' has green tubed leaves with bright red tips. It is a monstrose version of Crassula ovata. It grows up to 3 feet tall and up to 2 feet wide, with interesting leaves that are up to 2 inches long,

Hobbit is very similar to Crassula ovata 'Gollum', but while 'Gollum' has nearly tubular leaves, the leaves of 'Hobbit' are curled back around. 

Given proper conditions, the Crassula will flower with small pink or white, star-shaped in apical clusters 5 to 7 cm across within the foliage in the late winter, making an attractive and mildly fragrant display.
