String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

Here’s an easy-to-grow succulent with round, fleshy leaves from which its common names,  String of Pearls or Bead Plant, are derived. Unique in its form, yet tolerant of extremes in dryness, the draping basket of green beads lights up any room with greenery and plant life. When it blooms, the Bead Plant has small white flowers that smell like cinnamon. This South African native is nearly indestructible when grown in full to partial sun. String of Pearls takes on a fanciful look when grown in a decorative pot as shown in the photo.
