I am Euphorbia 'Tasmanian Tiger'. My family originated from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

Habit Shrub - Drought tolerant
Plant family Euphorbiaceae
Hardy I feature striped green and white foliage which creates a bright textural contrast in the garden creating year round interest and making me popular in floral arrangements. My interesting white blooms in spring attract beneficial insects and small nectar feeding birds. I am a great addition to Mediterranean style gardens and rockeries. I appreciate full sun and good drainage. I am a good choice for very poor gravelly soils.
Caution: My alkaline sap is a skin & eye irritant.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My compact form with bright green and white foliage is a great way to create contrast in the garden
I am equally happy growing in pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
My creamy white blooms in spring attract beneficial insects and small nectar feeding birds
