Euphorbia stygiana, Spurge

Leathery green leaves that grow in large whorls top bare stems to an impressive size! Loose, open, chartreuse blooms appear late spring to early summer and are strongly honey-scented. It appreciates a well-drained site and is drought-tolerant once established. Tropicalesque in appearance! We have this plant in a few places in our gardens. It dies completely down to soil level in hard winters and resprouts in the spring. In full sun and a dry site, it is a full "shrub" during the summer 5 ft T x 5 ft W (2nd picture, taken Nov. 2024). In full shade and some summer water, it is 6 ft T and 4 ft W, less of a rounded shrub but adds important texture (1st picture, taken Oct 2024).  Mature size: 5-6 ft T x W Minimum temperature: 0° F
