Description: Striking, drought-tolerant euphorbias with bold, sculptural form and minimal water needs. These warm-season succulents thrive in full sun and sharply drained soil. Growth habits range from low, sprawling forms to upright candelabra-like columns. Foliage is often minimal, with photosynthetic stems in colors from green to fiery red or silver-blue. Generally deer resistant. Most varieties are not cold-hardy in prolonged freezes and should be protected or grown in containers. All parts contain a caustic milky sap0handle with care and avoid skin contact. Excellent for modern, xeric, or desert-style landscapes and containers.
