DESCRIPTION
Euphorbia characias ‘Bruce’s Dwarf’ forms dense, upright mounds of narrow blue-green foliage that remain present through the year, creating steady structure in the garden. In early to mid-spring, domed clusters of chartreuse bracts surround tiny central flowers, producing a soft glow that persists for many weeks and brings brightness to borders and containers.

Selected from Mediterranean populations of the species and refined in cultivation for compact habit and consistent flowering, it reflects the sun-drenched landscapes where wild forms evolved. Durable evergreen growth and long-lasting spring display provide dependable texture and color across the changing seasons.
