Belonging to a very large diverse genus in the daisy family, Senecio serpens is arguably teh best of the blue-leafed succulents. It's fresh new winter growth provides extraordinary form and colour contrast in the landscape when placed either with other succulents or in a mixed planting. Senecio serpens requires very free drainign soil and limited water in winter or the plants will rot at the base. It thrives in hot sunny positions and will tolerate coastal conditions and light frosts.
