Blue Chalksticks (Senecio mandraliscae) is a striking succulent known for its beautiful silvery-blue foliage. The slender cylindrical leaves create a soft, architectural look that contrasts beautifully with green plants and garden foliage.
This hardy succulent forms dense clusters as it grows, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, coastal gardens, and sunny borders. Its unique blue colour also makes it popular for modern landscape designs and drought-tolerant gardens.
Blue Chalksticks spreads gradually to form a soft, flowing groundcover that works beautifully in landscape plantings.
Prefers full sun to bright light.
Water sparingly. Allow soil to dry between watering.
Requires well-draining soil. Ideal for sandy or succulent potting mixes.
With its distinctive blue foliage and easy care nature, Senecio mandraliscae is one of the most visually striking succulents for Australian gardens and containers.

Absolutely thrilled with my silver lady fern! The plant arrived in perfect condition—lush, vibrant, and clearly very healthy. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with timely updates and helpful responses to my questions. Would definitely order again!
The heartleag they delivered looked so healthy! I’m looking forward to have this plant in my collection.
A beautifully delicate palm, delivered with love and care—thank you!
This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again
This plant was handpicked for me and it is beautiful. It’s very healthy and quite the stunner.
So colourful and pretty looks majestic in my front courtyard!

Very healthy looking plant and arrived very quickly upon placing order. 10/10 would order from here again :)
A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.
The plant arrived early afternoon yesterday & is indeed a beautiful specimen. Thank you so much.
I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
