Compact, semi-perennial plants display upwards-pointing spires of semi-opened flowers, rather resembling candles! These most unusual and quite unique wallflowers come in a variety of red, yellow, and colours in between, and are a complete novelty. Seedlings from them will continue to produce similar freakish combinations of flowers, so we do not recommend them for wallflower purists! Very few viable seeds are produced. We respectfully point out that all of our hybrid seed, by its very nature, may produce occasional freaks and oddities. If you discover something remarkable, and are happy to do ... Learn More

Bulbs are eaten by grizzly bears and also the native American tribal folk, but we do not recommend this.......... ... Learn More

This rare, completely unique, and unusually-attractive new hybrid, that has never been sold before, and which comes true from seed, appeared in our Devon gardens. Sizeable, compact heads of bright lime green flowers open above compact stems bearing beautiful glaucous blue green leaves, the unflowered stems having a remarkable likeness to large bottle brushes. We grow numerous euphorbias here, but the original hybrid appeared near to plants of Euphorbia characias, and the dwarf Euphorbia pithyusa, and possesses an attractive compact habit somewhere between them.
