All the charm of String of Pearls, with a colour twist. Senecio rowleyanus Variegated produces the same trailing strings of spherical, bead-like leaves as the green form, but each pearl is marbled with cream and white variegation that gives the plant a softer, lighter appearance. The variegation varies from subtle streaking to bold half-and-half sectors.

Origins
Native to the dry grasslands of southwest Africa, Senecio rowleyanus grows along the ground in semi-arid conditions, using its spherical leaves to store water and minimise surface area exposed to the sun. The variegated form carries the same growth habit and drought tolerance.
