Euphorbia 'Tasmanian Tiger' 180MM

Euphorbia characias 'Tasmanian Tiger'

I am Euphorbia 'Tasmanian Tiger'. My family originated from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

Habit Shrub - Drought tolerant

Plant family Euphorbiaceae

Hardy I feature striped green and white foliage which creates a bright textural contrast in the garden creating year round interest and making me popular in floral arrangements. My interesting white blooms in spring attract beneficial insects and small nectar feeding birds. I am a great addition to Mediterranean style gardens and rockeries. I appreciate full sun and good drainage. I am a good choice for very poor gravelly soils.

Caution: My alkaline sap is a skin & eye irritant.

My compact form with bright green and white foliage is a great way to create contrast in the garden
