It showcases fleshy, bluish-green stems with small leaves and clusters of yellowish-green flowers in the spring. Hardy in zones 9-11, it's drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun to light shade. Ideal spacing is about 18-24 inches, requiring well-draining soil. Caution is advised due to its toxic sap.
