Elephant Bush

An upright succulent shrub with obovate leaves and thick, multi-branching stems - sometimes likened to a small-leafed jade plant. Bright emerald green foliage adorns the reddish-brown stems. Requires excellent drainage. Hardy to 25 - 30 degrees F. Does well indoors. Stays small in containers, excellent for bonsai. Occasional summer flowers. Native to South Africa.
