Blue Chalksticks

Senecio mandraliscae

A South African succulent that grows as a spreading groundcover of waxy, blue-gray, evergreen foliage resembling sticks of blue-green chalk. Upward pointing, thick leaves quickly and densely blanket the earth, offering a display of small, white flowers during winter that also attract pollinators. Highly versatile and hardy, this is an excellent choice for groundcover or an ideal border plant.

Common Nursery Plant Forms

We use plant forms to describe how a plant has been grown in our nursery. Here are some common nursery plant forms explained.


A bush or multi refers to a shrub or small tree grown with multiple stems.

A standard has been trained to have a single trunk.
Many bush/multi plants are also available in standard form, so be sure to check the form when you add plants to your cart.

A column refers to a tree or shrub grown into a tall, narrow shape.

An espalier is a plant trained to grow in a two-dimensional form against a trellis.


Staked plants will be tied to a wooden or plastic stake during the growing process. This technique is generally used on vines but is sometimes used for certain trees or shrubs.
