Highlights
Senecio ficoides (now Curio ficoides)): The fantastic new succulent hedge to border your frost-free rock garden! This plant grows up to 4.0' tall and stays bushy with sea green, fleshy leaves. Its stemmed growth and wedge-shaped leaves remind many people of Blue Chalk Sticks.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
