Horned Spurge, Sicily Spurge
Euphorbia ceratocarpa (Sicily Spurge) is a very showy, upright, evergreen perennial or sub-shrub with long narrow gray-green leaves adorned with a prominent midrib. Blooming over a long season, bright yellow-green flowers, held in small clusters, appear above the foliage from mid-summer to mid-autumn. They bloom year-round in mild winter areas. Remaining attractive during all its growing season, this remarkable plant is resilient to most pests and diseases, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. A bold focal point for sunny rock gardens or mixed borders.
