Euphorbia bupleurifolia Seeds

Ultra Rare - Pine Cone Euphorbia

Euphorbia is a genus in the family Euphorbiaceae. Consisting of 2008 species, Euphorbia is the fourth largest genus of flowering plants. Succulent species originate mostly from Africa, the Americas and Madagascar. The common name "spurge" derives from the Middle English/Old French espurge ("to purge"), due to the use of the plant's sap as a medicinal purgative. The plants are annual or perennial herbs, woody shrubs or trees. Smaller Euphorbias make excellent potted plants while larger species are valuable landscaping plants.

Euphorbia bupleurifolia commonly known as Pine Cone Euphorbia is a rare South African endemic low-growing plant with a short caudiciform trunk that looks like a small pine cone topped with a crown of green leaves. It normally grows no more than 20cm in height and about 7cm in diameter. This is a small, slow-growing, but easy to cultivate succulent Euphorbia, and is suitable as a container plant and can also be grown in the ground in areas with a mild climate. It needs to be kept warm, not less than 10°C in the winter, however when dormant and dry they are relatively cold hardy.
