Shark's Tooth (Crassula corymbulosa also known as C. capitella thyrsiflora) is a stemmed succulent with tall stacks of narrow, pointed leaves that flush red when gently stressed by sun and drought. The Crassula genus has over 150 different species.
In the wild, Crassula corymbulosa grows on dry, rocky slopes in Namibia and South Africa and blooms mid-summer to fall. It is a a freely-branching, vigorous grower and in its preferred growing conditions it can develop into a dense mat of ground cover. Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
