    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Round leaves on easy-to-snap stems. Related to daisies, and the white fluffy flowers will scent the room when i bloom. String of Pearls are naturally a sprawling plant that can be found growing under shrubs. When cultivating in pots they should be provided with water more-often than one would assume for succulents. Their root system is fairly shallow and can't keep up with providing water to the entire plant fast enough so frequent watering in well-draining soil is best. Avoid hot afternoon sun.

    Strings of small, round, succulent beads trail off this unusual plant. Senecio rowleyanus ‘Variegata, well known as Variegated String of Pearls, is a perfect succulent plant for hanging baskets! Just look at those tiny green ‘peas’ with creamy variegation. It produces small, white, daisy-shaped, fragrant flowers. Provide a well-drained soil and be careful not to overwater. Keep this plant away from children and pets as it can be mildly toxic if ingested. Protect your String of Pearls plant from frost.
