EUPHORBIA PUNICEA

An unusual evergreen succulent shrub from Jamaica. This plant gets really nice showy red bracts with golden yellow flowers and you can see them starting in the early spring for a long time. It is a great plant for small gardens or containers and can take a bit of drought. It does attract butterflies! The plant can get around 6' - 12' tall depending on the conditions. Very elegant and clean shrub, rarely offered and very pretty.
