Product description
Euphorbia Mini Martini are dwarf sized Mediterranean plants suitable for mild winter regions. The plants offer evergreen and compact green foliage that creates a scenic and pleasant winter display in gardens. These plants are mostly valued for their foliage, but their lime-green flowers with red eyes, also make an interesting add on to their value.
Their small flowers grow in disk-shaped bracts with attractive tomato-red centres and bloom early in the months of February. Euphorbia Mini Martini is a small sized evergreen plant with firm stems reaching 2 feet in length, smothered with leathery grey-green foliage.
They thrive in well-drained fertile soil and prefer full sunlight or partial shade. Euphorbia Mini Martini do not like cold winds, make sure to plant them in wind sheltered spots. Pruning its stems will cause it to leak a milky sap that is toxic. This sap irritates the skin causing a rash and might also damage eyes.
Even though it blooms tiny flowers, its green bracts will shine for a long period of time, sometimes continuing until mid-autumn.
These dwarf flowering plants are excellent for container gardening. Eurphorbia Mini Martini is planted at strategic positions like planting against steps, wall sides or as an additional small border.
Eurphorbia Mini Martini offers unique foliage with a hint of warm red in the centre, that is most fascinating if you are specifically looking for an elegant garden theme.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
