String-of-pearl trailing plant

This contemporary string-of-pearl succulent is one of the most popular indoor plants right now. To give it the correct name, Senecio Rowleyanus creates a style statement with trailing pearl-like beads.

We know Marks & Spencer do a similar faux plant, that sold out almost as soon as it went online. We therefore don't expect this one at Next to hang around for long (excuse the pun!).
