This is a beautiful succulent, which grows very quickly and easily with little care. Very difficult to find! Unfortunately for me, I discovered it is susceptible to frost and I lost all but one tiny bit of both my plants. Am nursing that one back to health and am hoping it will survive. Have never figured out how to propagate it, but it did fine on it's ownl Never flowered to produce seeds. Started out as 1 small plant and eventually grew big enough that I had it in 2 rather large pots.

Can't find much about this species- from Madagascar so probably not that cold tolerant. Grows as a bush/shrub and has Crassula like leaves. Scrubby looking plant- not a great lanscaping specimen which may be why I can find nothing about it on line. Leaves a pale grey green.
