Euphorbia resinifera - Moroccan Mound

Euphorbia resinifera 

Looking like living sculptures, the Moroccan Mound is a slowly spreading, mounding adaptable succulent. Once mature, they are comprised of pale green to blue-green multiple leafless 4-sided short columned stems that have gray to brown short spines along the margins and near the tops. As with other Euphorbia species, this is where they will bear small yellow flowers in late winter to early spring. Native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, they require well-draining soil. Apply water when soil is dry or periodically during periods of high heat. Equally valuable in decorative pots or in the ground with other mixed cacti, succulents, or low-water use perennials. Mature specimens are a fun conversation piece and attention grabber. Full to part sun, protect from freezing. USDA zone 9-11. (see pics for size reference)

NOTE: Sap of Euphorbias can be a skin and eye irritant, use gloves or wash hands after handling.

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING

Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.

BARE ROOT SHIPPING

This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
