How to care for Euphorbia characias Tasmanian Tiger:
To promote new shoots remove flowered stems to their base in spring after the flowers have faded. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Best in a sheltered location and must have good drainage.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
Warning
Humans/Pets: IRRITANT to skin/eye; harmful if eaten
