Euphorbia oblongata
- Good for Cutting
- Self-sows
- Perfect for Pots
- Loved by Pollinators
This is my number one cut flower foliage plant, which forms the base of 80% of my mixed arrangements
You never tire of their brilliant acid-green flowers and bold, strong shapes. It is really a short-lived perennial, but it flowers best in its first year, so we treat it as a hardy annual. Cut with care and use gloves to avoid milky sap.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
