Fresh seed of Crassula columnaris ssp. columnaris South of Calitzdorp available here:
Crassula columnaris is a little jewel amongst the South African desert plants.
This tiny, almost inconspicuous succulent seems to prefer stony patches, often on top of hillsides and hillocks, and has a wide distribution from Namibia to The Little Karoo.
The plants flower in winter and die soon after flowering leaving just the dried up plant body behind with the seed on top.
Cultivation is easy and a sandy well drained soil is preferred.
Propagation is from seed which I normally sow in autumn or winter.
Growth is quite slow and the plants take a number of years to reach maturity.
