Graptopetalum paraguayense, commonly known as Ghost Plant, is a beautiful succulent native to Mexico. It features rosettes of thick, pointed, pale gray to bluish-white leaves that can take on pinkish hues in bright sunlight. This plant is highly adaptable, thriving in full sun to partial shade and preferring well-draining soil. Ghost Plant produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers in the spring. It's drought-tolerant and requires minimal water once established, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, container arrangements, or as a ground cover in succulent gardens.
