Notes
'Variegata' spurge (Euphorbia ammak 'Variegata') 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 soil. It is drought tolerant and stays evergreen. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Give it room, since it can reach about 15 to 20 feet tall.
Pairs well with American century plant, Tree aloe, and Ponytail palm.
