About This Plant

Meet the Pickle Plant — one of the quirkiest and most charming succulents you’ll ever come across. The Delosperma echinatum gets its fun name from its plump, bumpy succulent leaves that are covered in soft, bristly white hairs. At first glance those spine-like hairs look intimidating, but they’re completely soft to the touch — making this a wonderfully tactile and conversation-starting plant. Its compact, trailing habit and unique texture make it a standout in any succulent collection, windowsill, or hanging planter.
