    I really love this Elephant Bush. Love the smell, the texture, the color and the way it grows. I have been keeping it in my garden for the past years and it has grown bigger and stronger every year. I have a few other different kinds of plants and they have all turned out to be more or less losers. The Elephant Bush is definitely the winner and since I purchased my plants from this site it has been doing well.
