Euphorbia Resinifera

Euphorbia resinifera – A Sculptural Marvel from the Atlas Mountains

Straight from the sun-baked hillsides of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, Euphorbia resinifera brings bold texture and exotic charm to any landscape. With its spiny, geometric stems and low, mounding form, this eye-catching succulent is a standout in xeriscapes, rock gardens, and striking container arrangements.

Why Euphorbia resinifera Stands Out:

Architectural Spines & Form
Its upright, four-angled stems are tightly clustered and adorned with short, brown spines—giving this plant a rugged, sculptural appeal similar to miniature cacti, but with its own unique twist.

Spreading Mound Shape
Over time, it forms a broad, dense mound reaching up to 2 feet tall and spreading up to 6 feet wide, making it ideal for covering slopes or creating bold ground-level accents.

Seasonal Yellow Blooms
In late winter to early spring, small yellow flowers subtly emerge at the stem tips—an understated yet elegant contrast to the plant’s textured structure.

Drought Warrior
Highly drought-tolerant and perfectly suited for low-water landscapes, Euphorbia resinifera is a resilient performer that thrives in tough conditions.

How to Keep It Thriving:

• Light: Prefers full sun for best growth, but tolerates partial shade in hot climates.

• Soil: Needs well-draining soil. Can handle clay if planted on a slope or elevated area.

• Water: Water sparingly—allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Once established, it needs very little attention.

Perfect For:

• Xeriscapes & Dry Gardens: Ideal for water-wise planting schemes

• Rock Gardens: Pairs beautifully with stones, gravel, and other drought-tolerant plants

• Ground Cover: Spreads naturally to fill in difficult areas with poor or sloped soil

• Containers & Modern Planters: Its unique shape brings sculptural interest to patios, balconies, or entryways
