Description:
Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii is an architectural plant whose blue-green, evergreen foliage and dramatic electric green, spring bracts (flowers) are powerful and dramatic in any situation at the middle or back of the border, at the base of an arbour, against a wall, or in large containers.
