Euphorbia myrsinites

Euphorbia myrsinites
Succulent-like, with an unusual prostrate habit that makes it a glorious trailer for terracotta pots on the patio or as sprawling ground cover in the border. The blue-green stems are clothed in pointed leaves with greenish-yellow blooms in spring to early summer. [Zone: 5, 6, 7, 8]
Sowing:
Sowing Time: February to June. Sow seed in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. After sowing, seal container inside a polythene bag and leave at around 59-68F for 3 months. If germination has not occurred in this time, place the container and bag into a refrigerator (not freezer) for a further 3 months before returning to 59-68F. Germination can be slow.
Growing:
Examine container regularly and carefully transplant individual seedlings when large enough to handle into 3in pots or trays. If germination has not occurred by this time, then repeat the cycle as above.
Aftercare:
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 12in apart. For best results, provide a moist, well-drained soil in full sun.
