I do not know if any of these are viable seed strains or come true from parent seed, but I sure would like to try. I have had THE worst luck on every purchase I have made for perennial euphorbia .

@Arcadiaseeker I just saw your Snow on the Mountain (Euphorbia marginata). We have that annual here growing wild and I only seem to notice it in the fields this time of year and wondered what it was, but always forget to look it up. Now I know! Thank you. I only have seen single plants and not the large groupings. Is that because of human intervention in seed planting vs wild? I'm all ears!


Hi Esperanza :)
I think so, most of the euphorbia out here geta trampled down by cattle or mowed down before the seeds can fully mature so only the first few set seeds are usually mature enough to actually grow. You may want to have a look at euphorbia bicolor (the other I have listed) it is commonly called snow on the mountain here inn Texas, but its a different one from marinara. It's the one that grows wild out here and gets pretty tall if testosterone and a lawn mower don't intervene.
