Oliphant Elephant Food

Need an evergreen hedge (up to 8’ tall) that is easily pruned because it never gets woody stems? Need a striking vertical accent with rich, juicy green leaves and contrasting red stems that is always clean and easy to maintain? How about a border plant that is absolutely fire-proof to help protect your property? Once established may need only a few waterings the entire summer to keep it nice and healthy. Thrives in all conditions of wet or dry, full sun to part shade. Grows fast. Great plant for Southern CA Inland Empire; low deserts of Arizona and Coachella; and CA coastal all the way up to San Francisco. Tender to freeze, but mature plants will usually grow back from low to mid 20’s.

• Type: Succulent
• Exposure: Full Sun/Part side
