Description:
The Senecio articulatus, also known as the candle plant or sausage plant, is a unique succulent with segmented stems and tricolor leaves in shades of green, creamy-white, and pink-violet. It thrives in bright, sunny locations and requires minimal watering, making it ideal for dry conditions. This plant forms a sprawling clump that can reach up to 16 inches in height and over 12 inches in width. It is dormant during the summer and sprouts in the winter, producing small yellow-white flowers. Hardy in USDA Zones 9b to 11b, it prefers well-draining soil and can tolerate drought periods between waterings.
