Senecio serpens) is a species of succulent groundcover plant in the genus Curio, in the Asteraceae family.
It is a semi-trailing, low-growing dwarf shrub that forms a dense mat that reaches only about 20 cm in height and features silvery-blueish, finger-like fleshy leaves.
[3] It produces small and round, pompom-like flowers that may superficially resemble a virus.
It is grown in sandy, dry to slightly moist soils in sun or some partial shade.
Visually-similar to the ice plants of Mesembryanthemum, C. repens is typically found growing in and among rocky crevices and exposed ledges on dry, rubble-strewn sandstone slopes, where drainage is swift and sun exposure and airflow is high.
