This plant overwinters fine in my zone, it is in a pot on the east side of the house and only gets morning sun.

I have this in a galvanized bucket, and it looks great spilling down the sides. When I moved it from one location to another, some pieces broke off and rooted themselves. It has now formed an attractive small scale ground cover in that area.

Relatively easy to grow Madagascan succulent with oval shiny dark-green leaves, and profuse, attractive bell-shaped flowers (orange to red depending on variety). Does best in hanging baskets.
