Senecio talinoides 'Jolly Gray' (Hybrid Kleinia) - Spreading succulent from South Africa that grows to 12 to 18 inches tall with narrow 4 to 6 inch long blue gray fleshy leaves that can have branched leaf tips. It produces small rayless dull white flowers in mid-summer and forms a dense mat with leaves angled upward from the ground. Similar to Senecio mandraliscae but with finer texture. Drought tolerant but tolerates regular irrigation. Plant in full sun to light shade. Hardy to 10-15° F. A great groundcover. This plant is a hybrid between Senecio mandraliscae and Senecio aizoides (both subspecies of Senecio talinoides in the recent reference , "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Dicotyledons" edited by Urs Eggli, 2002) created by John Bleck. We named it 'Jolly Gray' to correspond with another John Bleck hybrid, Aeonium 'Jolly Green'.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
