Euphorbia bongolavensis
Euphorbia bongolavensis is a slow-growing, xerophytic, petite shrub, reaching a height of up to three feet. It has an upright, unbranched stem topped by a highly branched crown that resembles an umbrella. The primary stem ceases elongation as it forms brachyblasts, which are short, densely packed shoots bearing clusters of leaves, resulting in the formation of an open crown resembling an umbrella. Its leaves exhibit a unique coloration, featuring red bases and lanceolate-shaped green to bluish-green tips, with the shade varying based on the amount of sunlight it receives. The stem displays peeling bark, and the flowers are diminutive in size and gather together in a cluster of yellow blooms known as a cyathium. Prefers full sun and well-draining soil and does especially well as a container plant. Euphorbia bongolavensis is drought tolerant, as it is native to regions that are semi-arid and rocky. (Pot size: 1 gallon)
