Blue Chalk is a visually appealing, spreading succulent with a distinct “blue” shade and interesting texture. Blue Chalk is native to South Africa and can easily tolerate harsh environments. It can be used in many forms ie: groundcover, in pots, as a border and to add contrast to your garden.
Blue Chalk is a very low maintenance plant that is drought tolerant and is also effective as a fire retardant! It is best in full sun through to part shade, is low growing and very quickly spreads to form a “carpet-like” effect.
