Senecio articulatus also known as the Candle Plant, is a shrubby South African succulent distinguished by its jointed, branched stems that take on a unique glaucous blue-grey colour. These stems resemble a series of stacked candles, giving it a striking architectural form in the garden or indoors.

In winter this succulent surprises with delicate, perfumed pale yellow flowers, adding a soft touch of colour and fragrance during the colder months. It thrives in well-drained, sunny, warm conditions, making it perfect for containers indoors or a sheltered, sunny spot outside.

As an evergreen, it provides continuous interest with minimal care, requiring only occasional watering when the soil is dry. Hardy and resilient, it’s an ideal choice for low-maintenance plantings and succulent collections.
