Euphorbia - Ruby Red Trigona

The blended green and red luminescence of these striking Euphorbias is what makes them a uniquely popular plant. They have vertical, heavily branched stems of green with mottled silver flesh. Each stem has 3-4 angled ribs with small, paired thorns along the margins. From the margins appear lovely teardrop-shaped leaves of dark maroon to purple usually filling out the top 2/3 of each stem. These are prized for containers culture for indoor or outdoor areas with part or filtered sun in frost-free, protected spots.
