Add to cart Elephant bush, with its dependable greenery, attractive mahogany red stems, and its tolerance of neglect, dry conditions, and full sun, is one of the backbone plants of the succulent garden. A tough, hard-to-kill, easy-to-please plant, use elephant bush to fill warm spots of your waterwise garden or fire-resistant landscape, in a decorative pot on the patio, or as a reliable “filler” in mixed planters.
While elephant bush may belong to the plant-it-and-forget-it club, expect yourself to regularly admire its effortless, dependable good looks. Grows to 6 ft. or more high and 3 ft. or more wide. Plant in well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Provide full to part sun. Flowers in summer (rare). Hardy to Zone 9/28°F. Tolerant of light frost but best to provide protection.
