Curio repens (syn. Senecio serpens) is a species of succulent groundcover plant in the genus Curio, in the Asteraceae family. Visually-similar to the ice plants of Mesembryanthemum, or “mesembs” (another endemic genus to the Western Cape Province, South Africa), 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. Commonly named blue chalksticks, blue chalk fingers or simply “blue iceplant”, it is frequently used in Mediterranean climate landscaping and as an ornamental plant.
