Ready to plant

Euphorbia rigida is an evergreen shrub with a compact habit and beautiful thick blue-green leaves arranged in regular spirals on the stems. The display is beautiful and very long-lasting: the inflorescences are initially bright yellow, then gradually deepen in pink shades until they reach an intense red colour before fading.

The inflorescences of spurges have such a distinctive morphology that they are given a specific name:cyathium (or cyathus). Although a cyathium looks like a single flower, it is actually composed of a cup enclosing a single female flower in the centre, surrounded by many groups of male flowers.

Euphorbia rigida thrives in poor or sandy soils, provided they are well-drained. The plant is highly hardy, enabling it to tolerate both intense cold and prolonged drought. This species of spurge will require little maintenance in terms of weed control: its allelopathic properties will inhibit the growth of weeds in the immediate vicinity. All these qualities make Euphorbia rigida naturally well suited to a prominent place in a rock garden or a perennial border.

Caution: like all spurges, Euphorbia rigida also contains a white sap (known as "latex") that is highly irritating to mucous membranes and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the eyes. This substance flows when part of the plant is cut, and for this reason we strongly recommend handling the plant with great care and always wearing gloves and protective glasses when carrying out maintenance. For the same reason, it is strongly advised not to plant spurges near areas frequented by children.

The blooms are long-lasting and change color: the flowers go from an initial bright yellow to shades of pink, and finally to a deep red before fading.

It does not fear poor or sandy soils, provided they are well-drained, and boasts excellent hardiness that allows it to tolerate both intense cold and prolonged drought. Caution: like all spurges, it contains a very irritating milky sap, so it should be handled with gloves and protective goggles.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
