Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A trailing, perennial succulent with flat, round, grayish leaves, which give the appearance of hanging coins on a string. It is very unique, and we find it easy to grow. It makes a beautiful, small hanging basket, or would be very nice cascading down the side of a tall pot.

Pebble Beach is a dainty creeping vine that will climb or cling or cascade. The fleshy leaves are coin shaped and cupped, variegated cream and grey. Great for terrariums or bark mounts. Very unusual and easy care.
