Portulacaria afra minima

Dwarf Elephant Food

This new selection of Elephant Food

performs beautifully as a groundcover!

Plants never grow above 6” tall, and are

quite often even more prostrate. This nice

little succulent has done quite well for us

in the sun and shade. A good selection for

containers or in the ground, Dwarf

Elephant Food requires very little

irrigation once established, usually just

some supplemental water through the dry

summer season.
