💪 Grows in neglect: tough plant for tough spots
🌿If you've got a dry, rough patch where nothing wants to grow, try Devil's Backbone, or Jacobs Ladder - Pedilanthus tithymaloides.
🌿This plant is seriously tough. It handles heat, drought, poor soil - no complaints.
🌿Its zig-zag stems look like they were folded by hand, and the little pink flowers are a nice surprise.
🌿Low maintenance, spreads well, and doesn’t mind being ignored.
🌿Great as a groundcover, border filler, or just doing its thing in a forgotten corner.
