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.
