Description

Euphorbia milii, commonly known as Crown of Thorns, is a resilient evergreen succulent shrub native to Madagascar. It thrives in warm, dry climates and is ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings in Cyprus. With minimal care, it rewards gardeners with continuous blooms in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, and white, especially from spring to early summer. Its tough, drought-tolerant nature makes it suitable for rock gardens and xeriscaping. While it is not invasive, its milky sap is toxic, so care is needed when handling. This plant spreads easily and adds a vibrant touch to any sunny garden.
