Senecio succulents are easy to grow and admire. These juicy, versatile, drought-tolerant plants are great as arrangement accents and massed in the garden. Boasting fleshy, often finger-like leaves and handsome blue or green tones, they work wonderfully as colorful and architectural contrasts to other succulents in mixed planters, as well as year round in temperate landscapes. This assorted four-pack of live Senecio plants in one-quart pots may feature varieties such as Senecio barbertonicus (bush senecio), jacobsenii (trailing jade), mandraliscae (blue chalksticks), or vitalis (narrow-leaf chalksticks). These senecios shine in arrangements with succulent plants such as echeverias, graptopetalums, sedeverias, kalanchoes, and sedums. Senecios are also commonly used to attractive effect as ground-cover plants on slopes or in garden beds and borders. Mass one variety or those of same color or repeat in groupings with different spreading succulents. You could use one or more varieties to create a low green or blue canvas for your garden's star plants. This foursome would make a great gift for a friend or family member who would enjoy having a little buddy on a sunny counter or desk. No green thumb required to please these plants and no need for fancy soil. Senecios shine with cactus and succulent soil or in landscapes with sandy, well-draining native soils. Bright sunlight brings out the most vibrant color. Will flower more easily outside. Flowers are lightly fragrant.
