Mediterranean Spurge
Formats
A curious and original herbaceous plant that will bring structure and architecture to your garden. It is also very useful in minimalist gardens, borders, rockeries... anything you can think of! It needs very little maintenance, just like rosemary and salvias, the best companions of Euphorbia.
Evergreen, up to 1.5m high and wide, with woody branches. Large greenish-grey leaves that grow in a spiral. Its special flowering is very showy as they are petal-less flowers with yellow bracts and purple glands, these colours are more intense in this subspecies Wulfenii.
Flowering will appear from the second year of planting, which can be pruned in autumn for a new and abundant flowering next spring.
