Description

Senecio barbertonicus is a plant with a fleshy trunk and lush green, finger-like leaves. The leaves grow parallel to the stem and point upwards. As the plant matures, the stems transition from soft and green to woody and brown. The flowers attract honeybees and butterflies, particularly the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui). Its remarkable ability to withstand drought makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens.
