I am a very attractive, easy care spreading succulent with distinctive fleshy, chalky blue finger shaped upright leaves from spreading stems.
My small daisy-like flowers in summer attract butterflies and beneficial insects.
I am naturally very low maintenance and tidy though removing my spent flowers can improve my appearance.
I am particularly drought tolerant but will grow quicker with regular moisture and typically quicker growing during the cooler months.
My light colour and spreading habit are a great way to create contrast in the garden.
