📌 Product Description

Euphorbia milii ‘Cream Blush’ is a refined, pastel-toned selection of the classic Crown of Thorns. This variety produces clusters of soft cream bracts delicately flushed with blush pink, creating a subtle and elegant display.

Unlike the traditional bright red forms, this cultivar offers a softer colour palette while maintaining the same hardy, drought-tolerant nature. Its thorny, sculptural stems and glossy green foliage add structural interest, making it an excellent feature plant for sunny patios and water-wise gardens.

⚠️ Milky sap may irritate skin and eyes. Handle with care.
