About
This succulent shrub features sturdy, often angular stems and small, wedge-shaped leaves. It produces inconspicuous yellowish-green flowers, often clustered at the branch tips, making it interesting for its form rather than showy blooms.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for full sun, this drought-tolerant shrub thrives in well-drained sandy or rocky soils, typical of the Kilifi coast. It serves well in xeriscaping, rock gardens, or as an informal hedge, providing texture and form with minimal water needs.
Growing notes
A slow to moderate grower, it requires very little water once established and is highly drought-tolerant. Handle with care as its milky sap can be irritating to skin and eyes.
