{"product_id":"euphorbia-rigida","title":"Euphorbia rigida","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia inflorescences have such a distinctive morphology that they are given a specific name (\u003cstrong\u003ecyathium\u003c\/strong\u003e or cyathia). Although the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia 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 Euphorbia will require little maintenance in terms of weed control: its \u003cstrong\u003eallelopathic properties\u003c\/strong\u003e will inhibit the growth of weeds in the immediate vicinity. All these qualities make Euphorbia rigida naturally suited to a prominent place in a \u003cstrong\u003erock garden\u003c\/strong\u003e or a \u003cstrong\u003eperennial border\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eCaution:\u003c\/span\u003e like all \u003cstrong\u003eeuphorbias\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 work. For the same reason, it is strongly advised not to plant euphorbias near areas frequented by children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e9x9x20 pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eEuphorbiaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eShrub\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFoliage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBlue-green, evergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eYellow, pink, red\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eMarch, April, May, June, July\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCold hardiness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDown to -10°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDrought tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eHigh\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eNo\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e50 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eExposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BotanicalDryGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39756973899944,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0727\/2104\/products\/Euphorbia-rigida-vaso_fdb00cee-4692-4e82-9a5b-3bced18fe4be.png?v=1619680603","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicaldrygarden.com\/en-be\/products\/euphorbia-rigida","provider":"BotanicalDryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
