Pedilanthus Tithymaloides Nana
Devil’s Backbone Plant, or Pedilanthus Tithymaloides Nana, Ideal for windowsills Pedilanthus Nana is a succulent of most unusual form. This evergreen shrub has zigzagging fleshy stems with thick waxy deep green symmetrical leaves and produces star like clusters of red flowers. It is an excellent plant for the urban gardener where ease of maintenance and lack of space is of prime importance. Usually growing to height of 4 – 6 feet, Pedilanthus only requires half a day’s sun and is drought tolerant. These are very healthy plants with well established root systems.
Euphorbia Tithymaloides is a perennial succulent spurge. An erect shrub, the plant is also known by the scientific name Pedilanthus Tithymaloides. However, the genus Pedilanthus has been submerged into the genus Euphorbia, and is more correctly known by its new name.
The growth rate of Euphorbia Tithymaloides will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors.
