About
This striking succulent shrub features distinctive bluish-green, fleshy stems that branch readily, creating an architectural form. It produces small, yellow-green flower structures along its stems, adding subtle colour.
Where it works in Kilifi
Thriving in full sun to light shade, this plant demands very well-drained soil, making it ideal for rockeries or xeriscapes. It serves as an excellent architectural specimen or an unusual focal point in a dry garden design.
Growing notes
A moderate grower, it is extremely drought-tolerant once established and requires infrequent watering. Be mindful that its milky sap can be an irritant to skin and eyes, so handle with gloves.
