Senecio serpens, commonly known as Blue Chalksticks, is a striking low-growing succulent valued for its powdery blue-green, cylindrical foliage. Its fleshy, finger-like leaves create a sculptural texture and vivid colour contrast that instantly enhances modern, coastal, and drought-tolerant garden designs. Spreading gradually to form a dense, blue mat, it’s perfect for filling gaps, softening edges, or adding cool tones to warm landscapes.
Highly resilient and easy to care for, Blue Chalksticks thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating heat, drought, and poor soils with ease. Small creamy-white flowers appear above the foliage in mid-summer to early autumn, though the plant is grown primarily for its colour and form. Ideal for xeriscaping, borders, rock gardens, and containers, this low-maintenance succulent brings year-round visual interest.
