Notes
Resin spurge (Euphorbia resinifera) is a succulent for borders, containers, rock gardens, and accents. 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 or part sun and dry to average, sandy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows slowly into a wide, ascending clump that stays evergreen and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Soap aloe, Silver jade plant, Afterglow echeveria, and Dragon tree.
