Crassula tetragona (100 seeds)
It is a hardy, evergreen, succulent shrub with rows of bright-green, sword-shaped leaves. These are evenly arranged in crossed, opposite pairs along the stems, which are held upright in a vertical position. In summer and early autumn, it bears masses of tiny, creamy-white flowers in an inflorescence carried above the shrub.
Sowing instructions: Sow the seed in a seed box. DO NOT cover the seeds. Simply sow the seeds in a coarse sand topping, with a well-drained substrate underneath. Water with a fine mister or a fogger once a week during winter and once a month in summer. The seeds will germinate readily during the cooler period of the year.
