Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii (Mediterranean Spurge)
A nice structural sub-shrub from western mediterranean with beautiful clusters of yellow-green blossoms subtly displayed against green foliage in early spring. Won the Award of Garden Merit (A.G.M.) from the Royal Horticultural Society. It grows to 3-4 ft by 3-4 ft and provides year round garden interest, and is a stunner in spring when its bright chartreuse flowers appear. It thrives in full sun to light shade, in dry conditions so plant in well drained soil. It is resistant to most pests and deer and other critters don’t like it. Avoid contact with the milky sap of the leaves that can cause dermatitis for some people. Would make a great container specimen.
