EUPHORBIA ROBBIAE

Description

Striking evergreen plant, often mistaken for a small rhododendron, until the stately yellow green spires appear in late spring. "Invaluable for shady or sunny places, even in poor soil." (G.S.T.)

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
