Variegated Dwarf Elephant Bush (Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata'), also known as 'Variegated Spekboom', is a charming hardy succulent with attractive cream and green variegated foliage that creates stunning visual interest in water-wise gardens. This low-growing indigenous plant works beautifully as groundcover, cascading dramatically down rockeries, or spilling attractively over the edges of pots and containers. Like all Spekboom varieties, it's a powerful carbon-capturing plant that contributes to environmental sustainability while requiring minimal care. Plant 40-50cm apart for groundcover effect or use individually in containers where its trailing habit can be showcased. Feed with a balanced succulent fertilizer in spring and again in mid-summer to maintain vibrant variegation and encourage healthy growth, ensuring excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
