Euphorbia bupleurifolia a gorgeous plant that is found in large areas such as South Africa, Cape Province, all the way to Transkei and Natal. It is a plant that reaches up to about 12 to 16" in height, either solitary or branches from the base of the plant. These plants are dioecious meaning that they are male or female flowers, although this one has been reported to able to actually change sexes. It is a unique and beautiful plant for any purpose.
This is a small, slow-growing choice Euphorbia, and although not one of the easiest to grow, it should not be too difficult for the careful collector. It is suitable as a container plant (but it can grow in the ground in areas with a mild climate).

Moisture: It does not like its compost drying out for very long periods when the weather is hot. It needs constant moisture during the Summer, but it doesn't like winter water, as it rots easily.
Hardiness: It needs to be kept warm, not less than 10 C in the winter (but when dormant and dry they are relatively cold tolerant).
Sun Exposure: Light shade.
