Senecio herrianus ‘Angel’s Tears’, also known as String of Tears, is an attractive trailing succulent from Africa. It features delicate, teardrop-shaped leaves that hang gracefully from thin stems, forming a soft cascading effect.

Perfect for Melbourne interiors and shaded outdoor spaces, it provides year-round greenery and occasional white, fragrant flowers in summer and autumn.
