Euphorbia Milii — detail

The crown of thorns from Madagascar

Native to Madagascar, the Euphorbia Milii is a shrubby succulent that contrasts its thorn-covered stems with colorful bracts of unexpected charm.

Drought-resistant and surprisingly free-flowering, it rewards even a little sunshine with generous, long-lasting blooms.

"The Euphorbia Milii proves that beauty knows how to defend itself."
