Product description
Euphorbia ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ is a compact, evergreen herbaceous perennial known as a spurge. A great choice for year-round interest, it makes a great addition to any rock garden or a shrub bed with its unusual erect stems bearing beautifully variegated green and cream leaves and above them clusters of cream coloured, conical flowers appear in mid-Spring through into the Summer months.
Plant in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Can be grown in full or partial sun. Wet or overwatered soil in the Winter can cause great harm to the plant and should be avoided. A drought resistant shrub, this euphorbia can go for reasonably long periods of time without needing water but could possibly require a deep watering if exposed to extended periods of heat. When pruning, be careful of the milky sap which is a skin irritant.

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.

Top Tip
Wear gloves when handling Euphorbia, as the sap can cause skin irritation.
How to Water
Water Euphorbia moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. They are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during dry spells. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Euphorbia in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space them properly to allow air circulation.
