This sprawling succulent grows beautifully in a hanging basket and produces many small white flowers with a red center. It is an unusual plant to find for sale and really different and interesting looking. In the winter time, the plant drops all of its leaves, but continues to bloom and that is why it is named String of Stars. It also seems to be forming a neat caudex and would be an interesting bonsai.
