This brilliant neon colored evergreen shrub succulent almost resembles coral as it’s loose branches grow vertically with stems as thin as pencils. If grown in ground & in a hot climate without frost it can grow up to 4-8 ft tall & wide. It’s resilient to most pests & diseases, salt tolerant, deer or rabbit resistant, tolerant to rocky soil & drought, & easy to care for! 

Euphorbia ‘Fire Stick’ works perfectly in beds, as a border plant, coastal gardens or in Mediterranean Gardens. It can be used on patios & in container arrangements where it adds awesome color & height! 

 

You will receive a 3.5” size plant bare root without a pot. 

** Our ‘Fire Sticks’ have grown so quickly they are almost too large for the 3.5” pots! Get your ‘Pencil Trees’ while they’re large, yet still 3.5” prices! We will be transplanting them into gallon size soon & their price will increase!!
