Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Resin Spurge (Euphorbia resinifera) is one of the simplest and care-free Euphorbia species to grow! This species of spurge with erect succulent stems at first glance looks like a cactus. It has an attractive easy to care for nature and fast-growing habit which will eventually spread to 1 to 2 feet tall by 4 to 6 feet wide. The ascending branches are pale green with four ridges, short, sharp spines and small, inconspicuous flowers. This plant originally comes from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Also known as: Resin Spurge, Officinal Spurge or Moroccan mound spurge.

This plant has been grown in a 1 ga pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. The plant is shipped "dry root" (without dirt).
