Pachypodium succulentum

Head-sized ground-level caudex from which arise slender 50cm branches, topped with spidery pink/white flowers in spring. Tough. Takes savage pruning if desired and grows outdoors too. Watch for mealy bug.

4.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK only if protected from winter rain.

As the 'Lump' gets bigger, the flowering gets showier!
