Crassula Muscosa, commonly known as Watch Chain or Rattail Crassula, is a unique succulent plant with tightly overlapping, scale-like leaves that resemble the links of a watch chain. Native to South Africa, it is an herbaceous evergreen perennial that thrives in well-draining soil and bright, indirect light.

A low-rising variety with unusual narrow foliage that is stacked and tightly overlapping; very drought-tolerant and does well in poor soils; subtle pale yellow flowers along the stems in summer; an excellent choice for containers and rock gardens.
