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.

Frequently asked questions

View details

Q: Is the sap dangerous?
A: Yes, the milky white sap (latex) is a skin and eye irritant for many people and is toxic if ingested. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling or pruning, and avoid contact with skin. Wash hands thoroughly after gardening.

Q: When and how should it be pruned?
A: Prune after the flower heads have faded and dried, typically in late spring or early summer. Cut the spent flowering stems back to the base to encourage fresh new growth from the crown. Avoid cutting into old, woody parts.
