Description
Wulf Spurge is a bold, architectural perennial prized for its striking form, resilience, and long-lasting seasonal interest. In late winter to spring, it sends up upright, sturdy stems topped with large, rounded, chartreuse-green flower heads (cyathia) that have a unique, almost architectural quality. These blooms persist for months, gradually fading to a soft buff color. Its evergreen, blue-gray foliage is arranged in dense spirals along the stems, creating a sculptural, columnar presence in the garden. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, it adds structure and color to Mediterranean and water-wise landscapes.
-
Architectural Lime-Green Flower Heads: Produces large, rounded clusters of chartreuse-green bracts in late winter and spring that provide months of dramatic visual interest.
-
Striking Blue-Gray Foliage: Features narrow, spirally-arranged, blue-gray leaves that form dense, upright clumps, offering year-round structure and color.
-
Extremely Drought Tolerant & Low-Maintenance: Once established, it thrives in full sun and poor, dry soils with minimal to no summer water. Requires no staking or special care.
-
Deer & Rabbit Resistant: The toxic, milky sap makes it completely unpalatable to deer, rabbits, and most pests.
-
Ideal for Modern & Dry Gardens: A superb accent plant for adding vertical lines, sculptural form, and seasonal drama to rock gardens, gravel beds, and mixed borders.
