Growing Euphorbia
Why Grow Euphorbia?
- Deer resistant
- Drought and heat tolerant
- Long blooming
- Low maintenance
Euphorbia Care:
Some are short-lived (even so, totally worth growing) and should be divided or propagated every two to three years, either in early fall or spring.
Many benefit from being cut back hard, at least by one-third, after flowering is finished. This keeps any free-seeders from gaining the upper hand and encourages a flush of new fresh foliage.
How to prune euphorbia:
- Trim back any damaged stems in early spring to keep the plant tidy and heathy
- Cut back euphorbia stems at the base immediately after bloom
- Clip carefully, new shoots will likely be emerging that you want to keep in tact
Wear gloves when handling euphorbias, and quickly wash off any milky sap that gets on your skin, as it’s a strong irritant. The sap also makes spurges poisonous, so be aware if you have children and pets, though I’ve had euphorbias and garden cats coexist for years without incident — perhaps the plants’ skunky smell keeps them from seeming like a tasty treat.
