Euphorbia tirucalli

From South Africa, Sticks on Fire, botanical name Euphorbia tirucalli, can bring the awe-inspiring look of sea coral from the depths of the ocean right into the dry landscapes of the Southwest, and you can have it without having to explore the depths of the ocean floor! The blazing good looks of this succulent actually transform when there's added stress, in fact, this is one of the rare living things that look better in stressful situations! You see, during the winter time, this sun-loving plant explodes with its prized vibrant colors that you have to see to believe! Once summer rolls around again, the bright fiery red/orange and green colors go back to a lighter green hue, which blends in perfectly with any landscape from the desert to the sea!

We love to plant Sticks on Fire where there is plenty of full sun exposure and where anyone can enjoy the display of changing colors! They look fantastic in rock gardens and make a great addition to beds and borders. They really are versatile and able to handle a variety of conditions, in fact, they're salt tolerant, and so they are suitable for seaside gardens. Of course, desert areas will appreciate their coral-like appearance all year long too! We also love to plant them in succulent gardens, where these water-wise plants can add curb appeal without having to use too much water!
