Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Commonly grown in Southern California, Euphorbia lambii grows well here in Northern California, too (USDA zones 9b-11). Straight outta Dr. Seuss, this native of the Canary Islands (land of weird & wonderful plants) grows 6’-10’ tall or shorter if potted, by 6’ wide. The thick, woody, upright main trunk branches out, bearing at branch ends an attractive rosette of narrow lance-shaped leaves. In Spring, large, lime-green flowering heads are profusely borne creating an exceptional display. “Tree Euphorbia” grows in average to good garden soil & is drought tolerant, though it looks better with average water. Hardy down to 25° F.
