50 (80)cm, Thompson's Spurge (formerly listed as Euphorbia spec. 001) is an endemic and rarely seen perennial species from Central and Western Cyprus and Southwestern Turkey. It makes annual to biannual shoots with a woody base and a terminal inflorescence with pale greenish-yellow bracts above narrow oval, fresh green leaves covered with fine hairs. Its habit is similar to Euphorbia characias ssp. characias, which is a distinct species however. For any rich, well drained substrate in pots. Not reliably winter hardy, keep plants drier in winter in full sun at a minimum of some 5°C. VI-VII. 20 seeds per package.
