String of Hearts Variegated is one of the most romantic and sought-after trailing plants in the succulent world — a delicate, whimsical vine that cascades in long, slender chains of heart-shaped leaves in a stunning palette of green, cream and blush pink. Each tiny heart is uniquely marked, making every plant a one-of-a-kind living artwork.
The variegated form is especially prized for her soft, painterly colouring — the creamy white and pink margins glow warmly in bright light, creating an ethereal, dreamy display that is impossible to resist. She trails beautifully from hanging baskets and elevated pots, weaving her delicate chains of hearts through any space with effortless grace and charm.
