String Of Tears is a trailing succulent with plump, pointed green leaves marked by fine darker stripes. Its stems spill over the edges of pots and hanging baskets, bringing texture and movement to a bright shelf, patio or sheltered garden display.
This evergreen plant is a lovely choice for customers who want distinctive foliage with straightforward care. Give it bright light, a free-draining succulent mix and time to dry between waterings. Established plants may also produce small white flowers in summer.
