Senecio scaposus, also known as Woolly Senecio, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. This plant is a member of the Asteraceae family.

Growth Habit: Senecio scaposus grows in a dense, low clump, typically reaching up to 6 inches in height. It features tightly packed, cylindrical leaves that give it a tufted appearance, somewhat resembling a collection of small, silver pencils standing upright.

Leaf Characteristics: The leaves of Senecio scaposus are its most notable feature. They are long, slender, and covered in a dense layer of white, woolly hairs.

Flowers: This plant blooms in the summer, producing tall, erect flower stalks that stand above the foliage. The flowers are small and bright yellow, grouped in loose clusters at the tops of the stalks.

Rock Gardens: Ideal for rock gardens due to its low-growing habit and striking appearance.

Container Gardening: Works well in containers, either alone or combined with other succulents, where its unique texture and color can be highlighted.

Drought-Resistant Landscaping: Perfect for xeriscaping or drought-resistant gardens, as it requires minimal watering once established.

Drought Tolerance: Highly drought-resistant, needing only occasional watering once fully established.

Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care, making it ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance landscaping options.
