Very attractive plant. Would buy another one.
A bit slow to start growing but is flourishing now. Looks pretty when the rain settles on it.

"Adds excellent 'bones' to the herbaceous border, Mediterranean or gravelled area and is equally at home in a contemporary or traditional garden"

This Euphorbia is at the back of my Mediterranean patio. It arrived well packaged and clearly healthy. It has now quadrupled in size and still looks healthy

I have planted these into a semi shaded mixed border. They have thrived. The plants were a good size when they arrived and have bushed out well. Despite the very hot summer, once established they have survived without further watering and are one of the greenest things in the garden.

Received fine healthy plants mid summer last year. Dug in plenty grit before planting them and doing really well so far. Using them to separate a decked and patio area. At this moment in time (early spring) looking great but just little toddlers at the moment, can't wait to see them grow up.

Bought three last year and planted last spring, this year they've grown really well and are a picture of health and happiness and look absolutely stunning in my sunny border. Great quality plants!

If the stem has snapped, then there is little chance of saving it, but you may like to cut it and enjoy it in a vase for a few days. Do wear gloves when tackling this however as their milky sap can be an irritant. Do also keep in mind that the stems of this Euphorbia should be cut back to their base in midsummer, which makes way for the following years flowering stems.

Hello there This is a lovely euphorbia, but it is one of the largest growing,-it can grow to 1.5m x1.2m eventually. I would use one of the smaller varieties, like Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Purpurea' or Euphorbia wallichii. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/euphorbia-wallichii/classid.1000000620/ http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/euphorbia-amygdaloides-purpurea/classid.2779/ Hope this helps.

Hello there Once the stem has produced a flower it should be cut right back to its base, or to a point where there is new growth emerging, from late summer or autumn. Please remember when working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Hope this helps.

Hello there I have attached a link to Euphorbias that will tolerate a west facing, dry site in light shade. http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.euphorbia/sort.0/vid.189/vid.106/vid.167/ The tallest variety can grow to 1m, - Euphorbia cornigera 'Goldener Turm' or Euphorbia cornigera. Hope this helps

Hello, It is difficult to know from your description what could be causing this. They tend to thrive in hot, sunny spots, but if it has only recently been planted, then it will need a lot more water than it would normally. If however it is planted into heavy soil that holds on to water for any length of time, it may well be unhappy and waterlogged. It is also worth keeping in mind that as each stem is biennial, it should be cut right back to its base (or to a point where there is new growth emerging) after it has flowered. This should be tackled in midsummer and will make way for lots of new, fresh shoots. Remember to wear gloves though as the milky sap is poisonous.

Hello, This does sound unusual, as if they are growing in a sunny spot they usually flower really well. It is worth keeping in mind that each stem will only flower in its second year, so it is important not to cut the stems back until they have flowered - or you may never see any. The other thing you can do to give them a bit of a push is to feed it with a fertiliser that is high in potash. Tomorite i ideal.

Mediterranean gardens can take on various guises from the rustic and rambling to the formal elegance of an Italian courtyard. However, they all have key features in common, including the use of exotic, sometimes tender, drought-tolerant plants in pots and

Hardy euphorbias, commonly known as spurges, make ideal plants for any gardener who rates themself as ‘keen but clueless’, yet a little bit adventurous. First and foremost they are excellent garden plants that can be used in the border and in containers,
