Variegated Candelabra Spurge, Variegated African candelabra, Ghost Euphorbia, Euphorbia erythraeae f. variegata
Euphorbia ammak ‘Variegata’ (Candelabra Spurge) is a striking evergreen succulent with a short trunk and upright branches in the shape of a branched candelabra. The entire surface is marbled with creamy-yellow and pale blue-green. The ribs are thick, wavy, usually four-winged, with contrasting dark brown spines. Fast-growing, Candelabra Spurge should be given plenty of room to grow. Very architectural, this prickly, columnar succulent tree brings a ravishing silhouette to the desert or succulent garden.
