Euphorbia lactea ‘Cristata’
£16.99
The Euphorbia lacteal ‘Cristata’ is a species of spurge and has an unusual cactus-like appearance and is often called a Coral cactus, but this succulent plant is not really a cactus! The base of the plant has a tick stem and sharp spikes and on top is a rippled fan-shaped crown. It is made of two types of Euphorbias making it more unique. This decorative plant is popular among collectors of rare and distinctive plants. It is native to tropical Asia, particularly in India.
