I am very keen to grow Euphorbia mellifera. You rarely see it offered by
garden centres? Is it difficult to grow? Any tips on it's cultivation
and where to obtain seeds would be great!


You don't say where you are and that is something anyone needs to know.
It grows well here and the honey scent is very obvious on a warm day.
Even though it was cut back by harsh weather a couple of years ago, it
has come back and is doing well, so I think it's a bit tougher than
people may think. Ours has some shelter from the canopy of a large
beech tree but otherwise isn't 'coddled' in any way.



Sacha, you don't say where you are either, it's OK for most of us but
for new posters you could be any where.
