Notes
Canary island spurge (Euphorbia canariensis) is a succulent for borders and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It is evergreen, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Turk's head cactus, Old man cactus, and White sage.
