Like Blue Chalksticks, on steroids. Senecio Skyscraper is a strong, upright grower, reaching 2-3' in one growing season. No staking or support necessary. Fabulous new structural component for succulent gardens. This attractive plant grows 2-3' tall and 18" wide. It is evergreen and does best in well draining soil and full or part sun. A great plant for containers, hillsides, coastal areas, borders and rock gardens. Prune when needed.
