Description

Euphorbia 'Amjilassa' is one of the most spectacular species of this amazing and diverse family. From a sowing in January/February it grows rapidly, and by July/August the huge, chrome yellow flower heads can be over 12in. across. It also features bright reddish stems which add significantly to the beauty of one of the finest Euphorbia introductions for many years. True from seed, it is a hardy perennial (US to Zone 5), and a stunning border plant of explosive potential.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing Time: February-July. Sow in trays, pots, etc of good seed compost in a propagator or warm place to maintain an optimum temperature of 65-70F (18-20C). Sowing Depth: Surface sow and just cover with vermiculite. Do not exclude light. Germination can be very slow. After sowing in a pot of peaty compost, seal in a polythene bag and leave 3 months at 15-20C/64-68F followed by 3 more months in the fridge if germ doesn't occur initially. Keep compost moist at all times.
