jade....'hummel's sunset

17 years ago

Hi...ever since I seen Mike's jade I was wondering what it is called..as far as I can tell its, carassula ovata 'hummel's sunset'...

I think the more sun it gets the redder the edge of the leaves get...

Mike if you read this, how much sun does your jade get??

I googled the jade plant and did a image search and I got some pics from daves garden that look just like Mikes and others that look like Mikes but with red edges, could this be its name, just wondering????

Most Jades will develop red leaf edges with strong sunlight. 'Hummel's Sunset' is especially colorful, however, with tones of red, pink, orange, gold, yellow, and green.

Hi all..

Linda, it gets all day sun at work from morning till dusk everyday, all year...

The colors I have to say, are too numerous to count as Josh says..

I can't tell you how many people that come to my job and ask me for a piece of it..lol. I am just glad no one steals it or pick at it..

It is funny. Everyone that notices it, tells me they have never seen anything like it..So if there is more out there, it still is a unique specimen to have for sure.

Take care for now....Happy winter...

Mike
