Propeller plant is a gray-green succulent from South Africa's Cape region, grown for its sculptural, flattened leaves and dense scarlet flower clusters in summer. The key to growing it is strong light and letting the soil dry out fully between waterings.

Crassula falcata is cultivated for use in drought tolerant and succulent gardens, and in container gardens.
