Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’ is the variegated form of Elephant Bush, with small colourful leaves on naturally branching stems. Regular pruning encourages a dense, compact plant, while lighter trimming allows a looser habit. That flexibility makes it a good choice for bonsai-style growing and training.
Why choose Portulacaria ‘Variegata’?
- Colourful variegated foliage
- Naturally branching Elephant Bush habit
- Can be pruned into a dense, compact form
- Well suited to bonsai-style shaping
- UK grown by our specialist nursery
