Blooming Boxes

Hailing from Madagascar, these unusual evergreen spreading succulent shrubs are fast-growing and can reach 4m in height. They are known for having leaves with a unique otherworldly appearance which make them an interesting element in a garden or container planting.

Sometimes also cultivated as a hedge, this perennial is quite easy to grow and prefer bright, sun-filled spots with well-drained soil and occasional watering. In bright sun, Blooming Boxes develop pinkish/red colouration. The name Blooming Boxes comes from the way the yellow flowers peep from a strange, dangling box-shaped bract on the plant.
