I have a large pot of it, as well as one plant in the ground, which gets heat stressed in summer. The pot stays quite lush all year.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229746686941298595.post-71123306896385038302009-07-21T20:17:45.250-07:002009-07-21T20:17:45.250-07:00Dee, I enjoyed the tour of your succulent garden. ...Dee, I enjoyed the tour of your succulent garden.

I've seen plants labeled elephant bush and thought this looked the same.<br />Kristin- I was asking that same question on another blog just a few weeks ago so don't feel bad. I thought they were so cool too when I saw them and just got mine put together in the last couple of weeks. the tumbling pots are made with a piece of rebar, stuck into the ground, and then the pots slid onto it. Each pot balances on the rim of the one beneath it. Click on my pictures and you will see the rebar in a couple of them.kesslerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941318128033074562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229746686941298595.post-1212759416888098502009-07-21T14:52:44.626-07:002009-07-21T14:52:44.626-07:00Great land of the lost succulents!
