Euphorbia pilosa 'Major'

Clump-forming perennial. Forms a dense, bushy mound. Reaches 50-70 cm (20-28 inches) tall and 40-60 cm (16-24 inches) wide.

Deciduous. Oblong to lance-shaped, fresh green foliage that emerges in spring, creating a vibrant backdrop for the flowers.

Showy, lime-green to chartreuse-yellow bracts (modified leaves that look like flowers) form dense, flattened clusters atop the stems. Blooms profusely from April to June. Provides excellent early season color.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Tolerates more shade than many other Euphorbias.

Excellent (USDA Zones 4-8). Very cold-hardy.

Adaptable. Prefers well-drained soil, but tolerates a range of soil types, including clay, as long as it's not waterlogged.

Medium water requirement. Drought-tolerant once established, but appreciates consistent moisture during dry periods.

Ideal for perennial borders, rock gardens, naturalistic plantings, and as groundcover. Provides strong textural and color contrast.

Low maintenance. Cut back faded flower stems in early summer to prevent self-seeding and maintain tidiness. Wear gloves when handling, as the milky sap can be irritating.

Best planted in autumn or early spring.
