Leaf Characteristics:

  • Appearance: The leaves of Graptosedum 'Glauca' are fleshy, spoon-shaped, and form compact rosettes. The foliage tends to grow in dense clusters, spreading outward as the plant matures.

  • Color: The leaves are a stunning shade of bluish-gray with hints of pink or purple under stress conditions or during colder months.

Growth and Size:

  • Form: This succulent has a spreading growth habit, typically forming low, sprawling clusters that make it ideal as a ground cover or for filling spaces in rock gardens and containers.

  • Size: It generally reaches about 6 to 8 inches in height and spreads to approximately 6 inches in width, depending on the growing conditions.

Flowering:

  • Blooms: Graptosedum 'Glauca' produces star-shaped flowers that appear in clusters on stems rising above the foliage.

  • Color: The flowers are typically pale yellow or white, adding a lovely contrast to the blue-gray leaves during the blooming season, which is usually in the spring.

Care Guidelines:

  • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Adequate sunlight is essential for maintaining the vibrant colors of the foliage.

  • Watering: Like most succulents, it requires minimal watering. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, then allow it to dry out completely before watering again.

  • Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil. A standard cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal.

  • Temperature: It is not very frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures if grown outdoors.

Uses and Placement:

  • Containers: Excellent for container gardening, either alone or in succulent arrangements, where its color and texture can complement other plants.

  • Ground Cover: Can be used as ground cover in drought-tolerant landscapes, rock gardens, or xeriscapes.
