Description
Crassula pellucida ssp. marginalis 'Albovariegata,' also known as Petite Bicolour or Calico Kitten Plant (syn. Sedum 'Little Missy'), is a charming trailing succulent from South Africa, ideal for Perth’s climate. This evergreen cultivar showcases small, heart-shaped leaves with stunning bicolour variegation in shades of green and creamy white, often tinged with pink in bright light. It forms a dense, cascading mat that is perfect for hanging baskets, containers, or as ground cover in rock gardens, bringing colour and texture to any space. Petite Bicolour thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate full sun during cooler months, making it adaptable for both indoor and outdoor settings.
This succulent prefers well-draining, coarse soil like cactus or succulent mix, which helps prevent root rot. It has low water requirements, making it drought-tolerant and well-suited for Perth’s dry climate. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to maintain its health and vibrant colour. In Early Spring (Djilba) to Late Spring (Kambarang), Petite Bicolour may produce tiny, star-shaped white flowers that add a delicate touch to its lush foliage. Its low-maintenance care and colourful trailing habit make it a popular choice for water-wise gardens and hanging displays.
