Curio Repens

A low-growing, mat-forming evergreen succulent prized for its striking, powdery blue-green, finger-like leaves. It spreads steadily to form a dense, colourful groundcover. In summer, it occasionally produces small, white, thistle-like flowers on short stalks.

Key Features & Care:

• Height & Spread: 15–30 cm x 30–60 cm
• Bloom Time: Summer
• Foliage: Evergreen succulent; distinctive, cylindrical, upward-curving fleshy leaves coated in a powdery blue-white bloom.
• Position: Full sun to partial shade; the most intense blue colouration develops in full sun.
• Soil: Highly porous, gritty, and very well-drained cactus or succulent mix.
• Maintenance: Highly drought-tolerant once established. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, but drastically reduce watering in winter.
• Minimum Temperature: Minimum 5°C (41°F); highly frost-tender and must be brought indoors or protected in a heated greenhouse over winter, keeping it strictly dry.

Excellent groundcover for gravel gardens, rockeries, Mediterranean-style borders, or trailing over the edges of container displays.
