Euphorbia mellifera lookalike ?
I saw a very nice plant a year or so back in a garden I was visiting which
looked just like E. mellifera but had broader leaves. I never caught the name of it although it was definitely Euphorbia somethin or other and was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions. I really would like to find a hardier alternative to E. mellifera which does not like the cold in my cotswold garden. Many thanks P. |

"euphorbia schillingii (AGM) 1 m ;Good late flowering with tall stems and large grey/green leaves with white central midrib. Flower bracts large and lime green. A superb clump forming plant" Binny's are in West Lothian so their selections should be hardy enough for your area, and they do mail order. www.binnyplants.co.uk Janet. |
