Crassula perforata 'Variegata'

Native to South Africa, this succulent looks like stacks of star-shaped, succulent buttons on stems growing slowly up to 2 ft tall in clumps to 3 ft wide. New leaves are variegated -- appearing yellow with a central blue green stripe and red along the edges -- and very sweet. Older leaves darken to blue green. Best in full sun to part shade always in a soil mix for good drainage. Water regularly in summer when soil is dry and less often in winter. Only frost hardy to 20F, USDA zone 9, so best as a house plant or indoors for the winter.
