Hi, neighbor to the north! We had a mild winter overall, but those 2 or 3 consecutive cold evenings did it. My Sticks On Fire is putting out new growth now. I lost over half of it, though. Nell
I just bought a variegated Elephant bush recently and was wondering if yours in the hanging basket is a hanging version or is that how they grow? I never thought to grow it that way because I thought it would grow into an upright shrub.
Yes, there are hanging or prostrate versions of both Elephant Bushes. They're usually harder to find, though. They are 1 of the succulents that can withstand the intense Arizona heat & sun. Nell
