Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

Euphorbia millii red

Euphorbia millii, native to Madagascar, forms xerophytic shrubs with slender, thorny stems. Small green leaves during growing season. Many various forms, including some that never exceed 6" in height to those that can grow to 4' in height. Many new hybrids are introduced each year, as well as some cultivars that have been selected for especially large flowers. Inflorescences are often very showy, and appear for many months of the year. Responds well to warmth, with its active growth period in the late spring and summer months. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Requires bright light for best appearance, and should be given a winter resting period at which time less water should be given. Protect from frost. All Euphorbias contain a white sap that can be irritating to eyes and mucous membranes. If contact is made with this white sap, take care to not touch face or eyes before washing hands with soap and water.
