The 'Sticks on Fire' Milkbush is a dazzling color chameleon for sunny, dry gardens. Its slender, pencil-like stems blaze in vibrant shades of coral, orange, and gold, intensifying with sun and cool weather. This slow-growing Euphorbia creates a breathtaking, fiery thicket that adds unparalleled warm color and textural contrast to Bay Area rock gardens, succulent beds, or large containers, all while asking for little more than sunshine and neglect.

• Offers year-round vibrant color, with stem hues shifting from golden-green in shade to intense coral-red and orange in full sun and during cooler months.

• Forms a dense, upright, branching shrub composed of numerous smooth, cylindrical stems, creating a captivating architectural mass.

• Grows slowly but steadily, forming a well-behaved clump that is easy to manage and perfect for adding permanent, fiery structure to the garden.

• Is supremely drought-adapted, thriving on minimal water and perfect for xeriscaping; requires excellent drainage and "soak and dry" watering.
