Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii (Mediterranean Spurge)

Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii (Mediterranean Spurge) is a striking evergreen perennial prized for its architectural form, blue-green foliage and large, rounded clusters of lime-green flowers. Blooming from late winter through spring, its vibrant flower heads create a bold display that contrasts beautifully with its upright stems and narrow leaves. This distinctive plant brings year-round structure, texture and colour to contemporary gardens, Mediterranean-inspired landscapes and mixed perennial borders.

Well suited to sunny positions and dry, well-drained gardens, Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii (Mediterranean Spurge) is a relatively low-maintenance choice once established. It tolerates dry conditions and works beautifully in gravel gardens, rockeries and coastal-style plantings. Wear gloves when pruning or handling this plant, as its milky sap can irritate the skin and eyes. Its drought tolerance and unusual flowers make it an excellent option for gardeners seeking a bold, resilient ornamental plant.
