Growing Notes

Will drop leaves and flowers in long dry spells or from cold shock, initiating new growth when warm and watered again.
In cool coastal gardens grow in a sunny, warm pocket.
As with all euphorbias, wash sap from skin or eyes immediately.

Special Interest

Valued for showy, nearly year-round flowers, green foliage and picturesque spiny, skeletal structure.
