Euphorbia tirucalli 'Sticks on Fire' is a multi-branched succulent shrub growing to 1 metre tall and wide. The bare branches are pencil-thin and spectacularly fire-red to golden, with small inconspicuous leaves that soon drop off in the dry months. The colours tend to fade towards yellow in the summer and then redden again in the winter. Colour is always best when grown in full sun in very well drained soil. Water sparingly if in a pot.
If planted in the ground, only rainfall is needed. Once established, it is extremely drought tolerant but not reliably cold hardy much below -2º C, depending on the duration of exposure. However, it usually recovers well and can be easily protected on cold nights with some horticulture fleece.
It is tolerant of salt and dry winds and can be lightly pruned to maintain shape. Please note that the sap is highly irritating to the skin and eyes - wear protective clothing when pruning and take care when handling.
Available in large 3 and 4 litre pots - please enquire.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
