Senecio Scaposus 130mm

Senecio scaposus – Woolly Senecio | Silvery Succulent with Fuzzy Texture and Bright Blooms

Add soft texture and sculptural form to your succulent collection with Senecio scaposus, commonly known as the Woolly Senecio. Native to South Africa, this compact succulent is celebrated for its silvery-white, finger-like leaves that shimmer in the light and are cloaked in a dense layer of fine hairs. Its unique texture and low-growing, clustering habit make it an excellent accent plant for modern arrangements or xeriscaped gardens.

Key Features:

Silvery Foliage – Narrow, cylindrical leaves covered in soft, white hairs create a glowing, fuzzy appearance that sets this succulent apart.

Compact Form – Grows just 4–6 inches tall, forming dense, rounded clusters reminiscent of silver pencils or coral.

Summer Blooms – In warmer months, it sends up slender flower stalks topped with bright yellow daisy-like blooms, offering a cheerful contrast to its cool-toned foliage.

Texture-Rich Accent – A tactile, visual standout for containers, rock gardens, or minimalist design schemes.

Rare and Eye-Catching – A unique addition for collectors or anyone seeking a plant with both character and charm.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright light to full sun. Indoors, place near a sunny window.
• Water: Water deeply but infrequently. Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Soil: Use fast-draining cactus or succulent soil to prevent rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, dry climates. Not frost-tolerant—protect from freezing temperatures.
• Maintenance: Minimal. A great choice for beginners and low-maintenance gardeners.

Best Uses:

• Rock Gardens – Perfect for alpine-style planting or desert-inspired beds.
• Container Displays – Adds contrast and softness to mixed succulent arrangements.
• Modern & Xeriscape Gardens – A drought-tolerant standout that fits clean, minimalist aesthetics.

Senecio scaposus combines sculptural form, silvery hues, and low-effort care into one unforgettable succulent. Whether used as a highlight in a design scheme or a conversation-starting potted plant, it brings a unique texture and tone to any collection.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
