Not to be confused with Senecio mandraliscae, this Blue Chalk Stick has shorter leaves and forms a lower mat. The blue-green leaves of Senecio serpens are 1-2” and the succulent spreads 6-12” tall by 2-3’ wide. In the summertime, spires of small yellow to white flowers rise above the foliage. Plant in full sun with good drainage and provide low to medium water. Use Senecio serpens as a small-scale ground cover in traditional, modern and water-wise landscapes.
