    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Endemic to the Canary Islands, this large Euphorbia makes a stocky shrub about 5’ tall. The stems are reddish grey & the foliage is blue-green. The flowers are chartreuse and contrast nicely with the foliage. It is overall a very tropical looking plant but can get by on low water. Has a milky sap so deer will not touch this plant.
