String of Fishhooks / Banana

String of Fishhooks / Banana is a charming and versatile trailing succulent — known by two names for her two distinct leaf forms that can appear on the same plant. Her plump, curved leaves resemble both tiny fish hooks and little green bananas, cascading from slender stems in a lush, fast-growing display that is as playful as it is beautiful.

A vigorous and rewarding grower, she trails quickly and generously, filling hanging baskets and elevated pots with a lush curtain of curved, banana-shaped foliage in fresh blue-green tones. Easy to grow and hard to resist — String of Fish Hook / Banana is a wonderful addition to any trailing succulent collection.
