Senecio rowleyanus --String of Pearls-- Tree/Shrub toothed leavesSo pretty you could wear it as a necklace! This is perfect as a low fill or a dramatic spill over the edge of a hanging basket, can drape over 1' long! Will make a plethora of cinnamon scented blooms when happy. Keep warm, bright indirect light, a bit cooler in the winter but protect from frost. Do not overwater.
