I really like this Euphorbia hybrid...it blooms all year here. It grows to around 5 feet/ 1.5 meter tall with about the same spread. It resembles a dwarf Euphorbia leucocephala 'snowflake' which also grows in subtropical and tropical climates. Photo taken Apr.16, 2010.

Yes, I really like this plant! This is a new plant...my last plant which I had for two years was completely over taken by a Thunbergia 'Blushing Susan' vine. This vine strangled my Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', Persian Shield - Strobilanthes dyerianus and Crossandra infundibuliformis - Firecracker flower plants...which I had to move.
Rbtkew:
This plant can be grown as an annual...however, will only survive in Zone 10 or higher as an evergreen small shrub.

Sounds like Thunbergia turned into rather a thug! Hope the other plants survived their move.

You can see where its name comes from ...:o)))

My Crossandra infundibuliformis - Firecracker flower plants are making a come back from the vine, being moved and the snail/slug attacks this winter.
I originally wanted the Thunbergia 'Blushing Susan' to grow quickly to take over a dead shrub. It covered the dead shrub and crawled over all the other plants plus started crawling on the roof of my house. I took a machete to it last summer. It has to be trimmed weekly now.
Thunbergia usually grows as an annual in most cold climates...however, in California I've seen it cover half a house in two years.

Yes we have the same trouble with Thunbergia here ... it's got to have lots of room! Glad to hear the Crossandra is coming back!

Bernieh:
Thanks! I'm glad my Crossandra plants are coming back also...however, they should have been blooming by now. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
My Thunbergia 'Blushing Susan' is becoming a big problem. I see little plants popping up all around the yard...even in cracks on the sidewalk.

Send that thunbergia my way please ... I wouldn't mind if it popped up all over my property ... far preferable to the excuse that passes for a lawn!!

I'll post a photo of the Thunbergia 'Blushing Susan' soon.

Aren't these just the most brilliant plant! I've only got one at the moment, in a pot out on the courtyard, but I'm thinking I need a few more. I just love this plant ... probably because it's white and fuss-free!
