The listing, Devils Backbone has ended.
The devil's backbone plant (Pedilanthus tithymaloides 'Variegatus'), also commonly known as Jacob's ladder, redbird flower and Japanese poinsettia, makes an excellent border plant, a colorful accent in a rock garden or a lovely houseplant. The drought-resistant succulent also works well as an xeriscaping option. Known for its variegated leaves and red, fleshy blooms, this evergreen plant is hardy in Sunset's Climate Zones H1, H2 and 22 through 24. It requires indirect sunlight when grown indoors and partial shade in zone H2. Grow as a houseplant or in a greenhouse in regions where temperatures dip below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Propagation is like that of any other succulent plants.
