Necklace Vine gets its name from the stacked appearance of the leaves, one on top of the other. This plant comes from South Africa and is fast growing. It can grow to about 18 inches in height and tends to sprawl. It sometimes has leaf margins with red edges which is very showy. Plant in a well-drained soil in full coastal sun to light shade and it needs some protection from midday heat in inland valleys.

Move turf away form sidewalks and pavement.

Instead plant shrubs or groundcovers next to the pavement, and water with low-flow drip or bubbler system to eliminate runoff from turf sprinklers
