Crassula ovata 'Obliqua' (Variegated Jade Plant) - A many-branching succulent shrub to 4-6 feet tall with thick stems that hold pale-green, obovate pointed leaves that are streaked with a white variegation. New growth sometimes has a hint of pink over the white. White star-like flowers bloom in clusters within the foliage in the fall. Plant in part sun to full sun in coastal gardens. Tolerates very dry conditions but looks best with occasional water and is not hardy much below 30F but can survive a short duration of temperatures to around 26-28F. A good container plant and in areas with cold winters can be brought inside and not irrigated during winter months. This form is sometimes called Crassula ovata 'Variegatia' or 'Tricolor' because of the tinge of pink on the new growth.  Information displayed on this page about  Crassula ovata 'Obliqua' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
