Crassula peduncularis
Also called Purple stonecrop
Purple pigmyweed is a small, low-growing annual succulent in the stonecrop family that often sprouts after rain in damp spots. It is grown mainly as a curiosity or for rock and bog-style planting, and it needs moist conditions rather than drought.
Crassula peduncularis, commonly known as purple stonecrop, is a herb in the family Crassulaceae. It is native to southern South America, Australia and New Zealand. It is an introduced species in Portugal, Germany and Japan.
The annual herb has an decumbent habit and typically grows to a height of 1 to 50 centimetres (0.4 to 19.7 in) and around 15 centimetres (5.9 in) wide. It blooms between September and October producing green-yellow-brown-red flowers.
