Graptopetalum paraguayense

Ghost Plant is a delightful succulent from the jade family, originally hailing from Mexico. Its charming fleshy leaves create a lovely rosette that can measure between 3 to 6 inches in diameter at the tips of its stems. These enchanting leaves sport a whitish-green hue, transforming into pretty pink tinges during hot, dry weather and taking on a lovely bluish color in partial shade. With a potential height of up to 1 foot and a width of 2 to 3 feet, this plant boasts graceful stems that can cascade beautifully over pots or stones, adding an aesthetically pleasing touch to any space. You can even prune it to achieve a bushier appearance! Come spring, look forward to delightful clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers, which are white adorned with tiny red dots. 

Ghost plants thrive in both full sun and partial shade, but they absolutely love well-drained soil and are drought-tolerant once they’ve settled in. These low-maintenance, deer-resistant beauties are perfect for rock gardens, containers, as ground cover, or even as eye-catching accents on your patio. And if you give them a bit of protection, they can handle chilly temperatures down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, they’re a breeze to propagate—just root some leaves, divide them up, or clip a few stems.
