The Story
This handsome, handsome, handsome, shrubby euphorb’s striking foliage is where its attraction lies. Grows to 5 or so feet high & wide with sweetly scented, greenish yellow blooms. Full sun to part shade with little summer water once established. Evergreen to 18 to 20F, upper USDA zone 8 and resprouts from the base to 10F, zone 8a. Slightly larger, more succulent, and hardier than Euphorbia mellifera. As with all in the genus, the milky sap is an irritant; avoid contact with eyes and skin.
