Rigid Spurge arranges blue-green leaves in tight spirals up arching stems, so it looks architectural months before it flowers — a live 4-inch plant of Euphorbia rigida.

It belongs in the hard places: flat dry beds, gravel gardens, the sun-blasted strip by a driveway. Stems arch two to three feet out from a mound a foot or two tall, finishing in spring with chartreuse clusters that read green-gold from across the yard. Full sun and free drainage are non-negotiable; after it establishes, water sparingly and skip rich fertilizer, which only buys you floppy growth. Remove spent stems in late summer before seed sets.

Fun fact: those chartreuse flowers are not flowers. Each is a cup of bracts around a knot of minute true blooms, the arrangement botanists call a cyathium and the signature of the genus. Snap a stem and it bleeds milky sap that irritates skin and eyes, so wear gloves when you cut.

Ships as an established 4-inch plant, and healthy arrival is guaranteed.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
