    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Senecio herreanus ‘Purple Flush’ is a unique form of String of Bananas that makes an excellent trailing succulent for hanging baskets and mixed containers. This is one of the most vigorous growers of the string succulent varieties. It features plump, banana-like succulent leaves carried on purple stems. The green leaves flush out to purple when given enough light and quickly fill out to form a mat of succulent wonder. Provide a well-draining soil away from reflected heat. Requires little water once established. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens, but is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ plant from frost!
