Euphorbia Dwarf Milii

The Euphorbia Milii is thought to have been introduced to the Middle East in the ancient times, and is rumored to be associated with the crown of thorns worn by Jesus. We don’t know anything about that, but we do know that these plants are very hardy, easy to grow, and a fun way to add some green leaves and soft flowers to a succulent garden. This particular variety is a dwarf of nature and will stay more compact than the larger, woody, varieties.
