(Mediterranean Spurge, Upright Myrtle Spurge)
Native to Iran, Morocco and the Mediterranean region of Europe, this beautiful spurge offers exceptional color and interest for gardens in dry climates. Its thick, fleshy, upright to arching stems are encircled with oval, pointed, blue-green foliage which remains evergreen to semi-evergreen in winter. Large, rounded, bright yellow flower clusters appear at the ends of the stems from spring to early summer. These are actually composed of colorful bracts surrounding small, less conspicuous flowers.

(Finger Plant, Indian Tree Spurge, Pencil Plant)
The pencil tree is well known around the world where it was grown a half century ago as a wartime experiment for rubber production. While these early plantations failed commercial viability, the plants remained behind to naturalize in other dry regions of the globe. Even in Africa its point of origin, probably coastal Mozambique, is cloudy. The value of pencil trees as living livestock enclosures led native peoples to spread the plants throughout much of arid south and east Africa.

The origin of its green parent species is probably coastal Mozambique, with this strongly tinted variety is a contemporary selection. This coloration reduces chlorophyll, which stunts these plants to less than a third of its parent.
