Portulacaria afra ‘Prostrate’, commonly known as Prostrate Green Jade, is a low-growing, spreading succulent form of the classic Elephant Bush. It features small, glossy green leaves on flexible reddish stems that naturally trail and cascade, creating a soft, ground-hugging effect.

Ideal for rockeries, slopes, hanging baskets, and mass groundcover planting, this drought-tolerant succulent thrives in hot, dry conditions. Its prostrate habit makes it perfect for spilling over retaining walls or softening hard landscape edges in waterwise gardens.
