Design with this plant

Overview

Euphorbia characias, commonly known as Bush or Dome Euphorbia, is a robust, evergreen perennial that forms a spherical mound up to 4 feet tall and wide. Its distinctive, upright stems bear small, linear leaves and are topped with showy chartreuse inflorescences in late winter to spring. Thriving in USDA zones 7-10, it prefers well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for a drought-tolerant landscape accent.
