Mossy Stonecrop

Crassula tillaea Lester-Garland

Brief Summary

provided by Ecomare
Moss pygmyweed is a very small plant. In fact, it is the smallest flowering land plant in the Netherlands. It looks a lot like a moss, which explains the Dutch name 'moss flower'. The young succulent leaves begin green, but turn orange and then red as they age. You generally only notice the plant when it's red. Just like wall-pepper, if parts of the plant break off, they easily take root elsewhere.

Crassula tillaea

provided by wikipedia EN

Crassula tillaea is a succulent plant known by its common names mossy stonecrop[2] and moss pygmyweed. It is a small fleshy plant growing only a few centimeters in height. It is green when new and gradually turns orange and then deep red when mature. It has tiny triangular pointed leaves only a few millimeters long. A tiny flower or pair of flowers grows between each oppositely-arranged pair of leaves; the flowers are about two millimeters in length and width. The fruit is a minute follicle containing one or two seeds. This plant is native to Eurasia, particularly the Mediterranean Basin, but is known in other regions as an introduced species.
