  • Euphorbia
    • characias ‘Portuguese Velvet’   CAG02300
      Height60cmWidth1mFlowering SeasonSpringWaterLLightSun - L. Sh.
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      An evergreen shrub forming a low mound of dark blue-green, velvety in appearance and feel, lance shaped leaves in whorls around succulent red stems. Acid green bracts containing tiny red flowers form compact heads which nod above the foliage in spring. Each branch flowers only once, so when spent remove them just above the point of new growth to keep the plant looking fresh and prime, or wait till after the seed has dropped for a healthy crop of seedlings.

      Needs little if any additional water over summer and is quite happy in some shade, great for hiding the feet of a gawky rose.

      A friendlier feeling plant than typical E. characias being lower, softer and considerably smaller in all it's parts.
