Euphorbia milii 'Petite Orange' - Crown of Thorns (WA Prohibited)

Euphorbia milii 'Petite Orange' is a compact cultivar of the Madagascan species Euphorbia milii, selected for its small stature and distinctive orange-toned bracts. Like other forms of crown of thorns, it features semi-woody, spiny stems and succulent green leaves clustered at the growing tips. The small cyathia are surrounded by rounded orange to salmon-pink bracts, appearing throughout the warmer months. This cultivar is well-suited to container culture and responds well to pruning, maintaining a neat, bushy shape.
