String of Rubies

String of Rubies (Othonna capensis) lives happily in succulent style creeping over the ground carrying along with her succulent oblong-shaped plump leaves. She thrives in heated conditions in full sun. She is a stunning spiller over a rock wall or container planting. Accentuate your desert garden or use her in xeriscaping where water is a shortage. And bonus, her bright yellow flowers bloom throughout the season, giving her a happy smile throughout the summer! When she gets stressed or drier than average, her leaves will blush into a ruby color, entitling her to the name! She grows no more than 6 inches tall and spreads up to 15 inches wide.
