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.

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.
