| Comments: Devil's Backbone - Pedilanthus tithymalioides is fun to say and grow! At home in the sun or shade, these variegated succulents add bright contrast to green or colorful landscapes and require very little care after establishment. It is tender to frost and freeze, but usually resprouts from the roots. Let them grow tall in containers to add the 'THRILLER' element. Add other flowers or foliage that repeat the white or yellow variegation on the Devil's Backbone variety you choose. |
