Euphorbia characias ‘Tasmanian Tiger’


Evergreen Spurge

USDA Zone: 7-9

Plant number: 1.208.610


This colourful selection has greyish evergreen leaves strongly edged with creamy white, forming an upright, bushy mound. Conical flower heads appear in spring, made up of creamy bracts with a green eye. In June, prune entire spent flowering stems right back to near the base of the plant — new ones will form during the summer. A plant for all seasons, particularly in mild winter regions. In colder areas this may be grown in a container and brought indoors to a cool, bright spot for the winter. CAUTION: skin and eye irritant/toxic if eaten. USPP#15715: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
