Notes
Miniature pine tree (Crassula tetragona) is a succulent for borders, containers, 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, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees visit its blooms, and the evergreen foliage stays on the plant all year.
Pairs well with Aeonium, American century plant, and SuperBlue lavender.
