Euphorbia

Hi Lourenco, this is lovely, i just bought one very much like it, mine is called 'Silver Swan' but i think mine flowers white, don't know for sure as yet. this looks like it will be red flowering? do you know the name?

Hello, this is a Euphorbia Silver Swan too, I have got last summer and now is going to bloom. Actually, it was in the greenhouse through the winter and just last week I found out the flowers! Looks like its going to be red. I will post a pic as soon as they open fully!

ooohhh yes please, mine i doubt will flower this year,so would love to see yours, red flowers that will be a suprize, i bet it will be stunning! mine must also be red then! hope so :-)

Hello lourenco, I have had Silver Swan for 3 years now it has been a super plant, however I am not sure what you do when the bracts are finished, I cut mine off but it doesnt seem to be producing any new shoots and is now just a shadow of its former self,have you grown one before?

No, its the first one, just now it has the bracts and actually I would like to know what to do next!

Lourenco I have just taken a photo of mine in its sorry state and have asked questions about its care on the web site so we both may get some tips,

hello Pansy, I just saw your question there, your Euphorbia looks a bit sad, mine was looking similiar when it was in the greenhouse during the winter, I used some bone fish to feed and some new top soil and compost. now it looks better, but I would like to know exactly what to do with that after the bracts has gone. Hope we have luck with the answers and you can save your plant! byt the way, your garden look very pretty, cottagy!!!

Lovely plant Bruno!

If is a cultivar of E. characias ( and I THINK it is) then you cut down the stems after flowering, and the other non flowering shoots should flower the following year. It is a bit like a delayed herbaceous perennial. Mind you, I don't have 'Silver Swan' but it works on the others (which all have yellow flowers??)
