What's Hot Right Now

SENECIO ‘DOLPHIN NECKLACE’, SENECIO PEREGRINUS

The plant: Make a splash in your garden with the delightful and dazzling ‘Dolphin Necklace’. Its unique leaves are shaped like little leaping dolphins and its flowing growth habit looks lovely in pots and hanging baskets as a cascading display. This low-maintenance plant is very easy to care for.

Growing: This spreading succulent thrives in a well-lit position — ideally receiving morning sun, as too much heat can burn it. Use a top-quality succulent potting mix and make sure your pot has good drainage. You’ll only need to water it when the soil completely dries out — don’t over-water or root rot will result. These plants are not frosted tolerant, so if growing outside, make sure they have protection during the coldest months in frost-prone areas.

Design: Perfect for hanging pots, both indoors and out. Although it’s dormant during the winter months, under the right conditions it can grow over 50cm in the first year! A must-have plant for succulent enthusiasts.
