Blue chalk sticksKnown for their finger-like, striking blue foliage, Blue chalk sticks (Senecio serpens) are a perfect balcony-friendly plant.Blue chalk sticks are a drought-tolerant succulent that prefer a sunny position, but do well in part shade, too. If you’re after a shade-friendly variety, try researching S. herrenaus and S. rawleyanus for more options.I use blue chalk sticks for underplanting feature trees with an elevated canopy, such as frangipanis and magnolias. They also look particularly good with the silvery foliage of olive trees.
