Euphorbia rigida

Euphorbia rigida.
A plant from Mediterranean areas that exudes class. It's branches curve gracefully upwards from one basal cluster of shoots with slender pointed leaves of the palest silver grey held rigidly in neat ranks that spiral around the stem. The whole plant is an open group of up - swept branches with an overall spread of about 40cm and standing about 25cm tall. Each branch terminates in a group of many small flowers which can be a clear lemon yellow or even lime green when they first emerge, making a most unusual but not disagreeable colour combination with the leaves. The flowers gradually take on an orange tint and as they age red and cerise tones appear in them too - stunning.

The perfect companion plant for ground covering amongst spikey plants as in this wild looking hillside in the Carribean Home From Home.
