Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The thick, rich green succulent foliage is topped by bright pink, 1/2" 'flowers' throughout the year. A vigorous and easily grown plant indoors or out. Provide ample drainage. The Crown of Thorns have bright showy long-lasting bracts that surround the tiny yellow true flowers of this Euphorbia, and the same flower-like bracts of Poinsettias, Euphorbia pulcherrima, are what provide the reds, pinks, and creams of Christmas time.
