The Elephant Bush is a fascinating succulent with small, oval fleshy leaves and reddish woody stems. It is native to South Africa and thrives in dry locations. While rare, the Elephant Bush can produce masses of star-shaped flowers in small clusters under the right conditions, these flowers can be pink or white and they grow at the end of the trailing leafy stems, making it perfect for hanging baskets or placing on high shelves indoors.
