However, I have had several outdoors now in a zone 9b and they are doing fine... very slow growing and sucker/spread slowly. Never seen them flower.. maybe too marginal a climate for that.
They do not love the blasting heat, and plants grown in full sun in the ground tend to yellow and burn a bit... and careful with watering during this 'dormant' time, as they will easily rot then. I have rotted a number of these watering them in mid summer. So far, haven't had a problem with rainfall and winter rotting, though.
One of the best and simlest Euphorbias for pot culture, though... grows relatively fast for small size and makes a nice clump of bumpy, harmless columns from a green central 'caudex'.

Like all Euphorbia HANDLE WITH CARE, the latex/sap is dangerous and can cause skin rash, itching and general discomfort.
