Breynia disticha, dwarf
B. disticha compacta
Description - This relatively new variant to the pink snow bush family of evergreen tropical shrubs is also known as "Hawaiian-Leaf Flower". The Compact Breynia is characterized by small, mottled, multicolored, ovate leaves, densely set along slender, rosy-red stems that become woodier with age. We are offering the exciting White Compacta in a 4" pot. It is a single stemmed plant 6" to 8" tall with leaves that are primarily a medium green with lots of white, especially on the topmost leaves, where the new growth develops and the plant receives the most light. These plants are a wonderful way to add white to florist arrangements or indoor planter gardens. Outdoors, grow only in tropical climates with high humidity and bright, filtered light. In these optimum conditions, Brenyia can be used as a thick growing hedge or landscape plant.

Burro Tail
(Donkey Tail)
Sedum morganianum
Description - This is a trailing succulent house plant. The thick round leaves are a grayish green color. The leaves are densely placed along the stems to give it a braided look .
Suggested Uses - This can be use as a patio plant or in the house near a window or in a rock garden. It should be hung somewhere, so the stem will trail down. It likes a well drained soil, so if you are going to plant it in another pot, use a rocky soil mixture.
Cultural Information:
Water - This is a succulent so it doesn't need a lot of water. Water when soil gets dry. Fertilize during the summer.
Light - Partial Shade
Temperatures - 20 degrees to 100 degrees
