Senecio mikanioides (Variegated German Ivy)

Variegated Wax Ivy (Senecio macroglossus ‘Variegatus’) has shiny, waxy leaves that resemble those of English Ivy but without the headache of spider mites or other pests. The variegated, triangular leaves and plump stems of this climbing vine make for a lush hanging basket or trellised climber in a pot. In bright sun, the white stems and leaf edges blush a beautiful pink and purple that creates a lovely contrast with the green.
