Attractive foliage is a superb addition to any succulent or rock garden, flourishing in full sun with little water. Vertical Leaf also excels as a houseplant or overwintered indoors outside zone 10-11. For a much larger Senecio variety, try Hybrid Mount Everest.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
