Euphorbia millii
and E. X lomi hybrids
Many people will recognise the common red flowered form of this plant, but selection and breeding work carried out in various parts of the world have produced a range of flower colours and improved growth forms. Some are suitable as drought-tolerant bedding, others as feature plants.
Hybrids are designated Euphorbia X lomi (E. lophogona is typically in the parentage).
Strains developed in Thailand known as Poysean hybrids (from a common name in Chinese for E. milii) are becoming very popular internationally and some are now available in local nurseries.
