Euphorbia mellifera
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!

They grow large - a 6ft football. They grow from seed fairly readily - I have seedlings in various pots - I always keep them in case I lose the main plant. |

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. David @ the sunny part of Swansea Bay |
