String of Hearts Tunic

by Trish Hernacki of Barbelle Creates

Meet the String of Hearts Tunic

Ceropegia woodii, or the string of hearts, is a commonly-found house succulent whose origins arise from South Africa. Known for its trailing nature and easy care, its heart-shaped leaves come in variegated shades of green, pink, and purple.

Just like its namesake, the String of Hearts tunic was designed to create a trailing impression with its oversized fit and three-quarter length sleeves. The trailing leaf hem gently flows across the bottom edge of the tunic much like the individual succulent vines. Similar to the plant, the String of Hearts is the perfect, easygoing top for everyone, even if you don’t have the greenest thumb!
