Euphorbia wallichii (Wallich Spurge)

Wallich Spurge, Himalayan Spurge


Incredibly showy, fast, and easy to grow, Euphorbia wallichii, commonly called Wallich Spurge, is an upright, bushy, clump-forming perennial which is perfect to brighten any border. It produces exceptionally eye-catching clusters of bright yellow cupped flowers with orange stamens in mid-spring which last for months. The foliage of pointed, green leaves, elegantly adorned with a white mid-rib, radiates from exquisitely branched coral red stems and turns to attractive shades of yellow or orange in fall, providing a long season of interest.

  • Typically grows up to 24 in. tall and wide (60 cm)
  • Remaining attractive during all its growing season, this remarkable plant is resilient to most pests and diseases, is drought (once established), deer & rabbit tolerant, and is easy to care for.
  • Performs best in full sun or light shade in moist, well-drained soils. This species is not fussy about soil conditions as long as they are well drained.
  • Perfect addition to beds, borders, cottage gardens, or Mediterranean Gardens. Great for containers too!
  • Remove the faded flowerheads after blooming is over. Prune to the ground in fall. Self-seeds freely if not deadheaded.
  • All parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested. The milky sap may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
