Description
Common name: Little Pickles, Senecio ‘Ruby Necklace’
‘Ruby Necklace’ (Othonna capensis) is an eye-catcher of a trailing variety with pudgy, bean-shaped leaves that hang on stems up to 2.0′ long. The whole plant can flush a striking shade of magenta when moderately stressed by direct sun, drought, or cool temperatures (around 10C). It grows fine, white tufts of hair in the crevices between stems and leaves (don’t worry, it’s not mealybug!). It produces small, yellow, daisy-like blooms and re-roots easily from stem cuttings.
