Euphorbia characais 'Wulfenii'
Euphorbia is a large genus, with plants like Christmas Poinsettias, Cowboy Cacti, and large shrubs like Euphorbia mellifera. These shrubby, hardy varieties make excellent garden plants for a range of different situations. Euphorbias, also known as Spurge, are easy to grow, and they look fantastic in your garden all year round – an excellent addition!
They grow to around 90cm in height, with a spread of around 1.5m. They add texture and structure to your planting scheme, and they are a great companion for any colourful perennials and shrubs you have. E. characais 'Wulfenii' is a spreading, evergreen perennial. It can grow to 90cm tall and forms rosettes of dark green, oblong shaped leaves. Large sprays of yellow-green flowers emerge from the rosettes in April to June. Euphorbias are not fussy – they don’t require any feeding so long as the conditions they are growing in are correct. However, having said that, they do like to be mulched annually. Contrary to how most succulents behave, Euphorbia do not deal with long droughts very well. It is best to water them every week during the summer or whenever the top few inches of soil are dry. Don’t let the plants sit in wet soil as this can cause root rot! Euphorbias like to be in dappled, partial, or full shade. In late summer or early autumn, you should cut the flowering shoots down to ground level. Euphorbia sometimes have trouble with aphids, and grey mould can be a problem.
The plants in this group all have a poisonous, milky, latex-like sap; this means gardeners must always wear gloves with this plant.
