I really like Euphorbia and also grow E. martinii 'Rudolph'.

E. peplus is a fairly common 'weed' on our clay soil, but I really enjoy this plant and allow it to seed around the garden.

My E. mellifera is developing a primary stem now, so technically it's a tree.. it's about 7 feet tall. I'll get a photo soon!

Sounds great Stephen.

A photo would be good.

My pasteurii keeps making it to about 4 or 5 feet tall and then gets cut down to the ground by ice and frost :(

Did you find it and how did it do?
Yes Kris I did track one down at Cotswold garden Flowers. Currently lives in one of my cold frames, second winter now and producing offsets which I can experement with in future. Another one for the arid bed is Euphorbia myrsinites. Recently got one so too soon to say how it performs. I'm hoping it won't sprawl too much.
