Senecio Vitalis (Blue Chalksticks) – Live Succulent Plant

Blue Chalksticks is a striking upright succulent with slender, finger-like leaves in a cool blue-grey that looks beautiful next to green and red succulents. It spreads into a bushy clump as it grows and is very drought tolerant, which makes it an easy, low-maintenance choice for pots, rock gardens, balconies and mixed succulent planters.

Care Tips
