Ghost plants, a lovely type of succulent from the jade family, are native to Mexico! These charming plants feature fleshy leaves that create a delightful rosette, typically measuring between 3 to 6 inches in diameter at the tips of their stems. Their leaves flaunt a lovely whitish-green hue that turns a pretty pink-tinged color in hot, dry weather and takes on a bluish tone in partial shade. With proper care, these plants can reach up to 1 foot tall and spread 2 to 3 feet wide. As they grow, the stems gracefully cascade over pots or stones, adding an elegant touch to any space. You can also prune them for a bushier appearance if that's your style. When spring arrives, ghost plants surprise us with clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers in pure white, adorned with delightful little red dots.
Ghost plants are versatile, thriving in full sun or partial shade, but they do need well-drained soil to keep them happy. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making them perfect companions in rock gardens, containers, ground cover, or even patios. With the right protection, they can handle temperatures as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, if you want to grow more of these beauties, they can easily be propagated by rooting leaves, division, or stem cuttings.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
