Portulacaria afra, commonly known as Green Jade or Elephant Bush, is a hardy evergreen succulent shrub with small, round, glossy green leaves held on reddish stems. It forms a dense, branching habit that adds structure and soft texture to succulent gardens and mixed landscapes.

Highly drought tolerant and low maintenance, Green Jade is ideal for rockeries, containers, hedging, and bonsai use. It thrives in sunny positions and well-drained soils, making it a reliable choice for waterwise and coastal gardens.
