Succulents & Cacti Difficulty: Easy
📖 About this plant
A beautiful trailing succulent with slender, pendant stems densely packed with overlapping, fleshy, blue-green, bean-shaped leaves. Often confused with Donkey’s Tail (S. morganianum) but has shorter, more rounded leaves on thinner stems. Produces small, star-shaped pink to red flowers at stem tips in spring. Spectacular in hanging baskets where its cascading habit can be fully appreciated.
