Notes
'Hummel's Sunset' jade plant (Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset') is a succulent for containers, specimen planting, and xeriscape. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. More sun, leaner soil, and a little drought stress bring out brighter foliage color. Deer tend to browse other plants first. With time it develops thick, brown trunks.
Pairs well with Paddle plant, American century plant, and Narrow-leaf chalksticks.
