Quite cold-hardy, Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant) is a small evergreen succulent forming 4 in. wide rosettes (10cm) of fleshy, pointed, flat, grayish white, opalescent leaves. The foliage turns pinkish-yellow in hot, dry conditions and turns blue-gray in partial shade. The small rosettes grow at the tips of ever-lengthening stems, that become pendant over time and cascade beautifully. In spring, it produces dainty sprays of star-shaped yellow flowers. Vigorous, Ghost Plant offsets readily and will eventually create a low spreading colony. A very attractive plant for groundcovers, in hanging baskets, containers or for spilling over walls.
