Euphorbia Royal Velvet
is a beautiful dwarf cultivar. The new leaves have a soft purple
blush that contrasts nicely with the blue-gray leaves. The plants
are 12" tall by 18" wide, the flowers push up to 24".
Euphorbia Royal Velvet is the result of a cross between cultivars of
Euphorbia characias and Euphorbia martinii. This Euphorbia will do
best in well drained soil. Plants prefer to dry out between watering
cycles. Blossoms are produced on spikes at the ends of the branches
in late Spring and into Summer. Once a branch blooms it can be cut
to near the base. Plants are hardy when temperatures dip into the high
teens. Euphorbia sap is caustic, care should be taken to keep it off
your skin.
