How could you not love a plant that can put on a show like this for months on end during the heat of the summer? So, why is is that so few people grow the amazing Euphorbia corollata? This amazing perennial is native to most every county east of the Mississippi River, even extending it range several hundred miles west of the river. Although it’s often found in woodlands and forest edges, where it really isn’t that showy, it really struts its stuff when it’s grown in full, baking sun. This planting is in our unirrigated parking lot beds where it grows amongst agaves. In the garden, it makes a slowly expanding patch, that’s easy to reign in, if it gets too large for the space. It prefers an open soil, so think amended clay or sandy loam, with a range of pH from slightly acidic to slightly neutral. This is our exceptional introduction, Euphorbia corollata ‘Carolina Snow’, which is the most prolific flowering clone we’ve grown.
Just bought that plant at your summer open house after seeing it in the garden. Do you think it will do well in sandy soil (amended with compost) at the coast in Emerald Isle? It is in part shade.
It should perform well in those conditions
“Rein in”, not “reign in”. The former being, of course, analogous to reining in a horse. The latter makes no sense.
Of course
