Euphorbia tirucalli 'Sticks on Fire' - Firesticks Succulent Plant

    Plenty To Go Around

    One of the most eye-catching succulents you can grow, Firesticks is a pencil-stemmed beauty from East Africa that earns its name with vivid orange, red, and yellow colouring during the cooler months. In warmer weather the stems settle to a cheerful lime green, making it a year-round statement plant. Its architectural, coral-like form looks stunning in large pots, raised garden beds, or as a focal point in a dry garden. Over time it develops a woody base and can grow into an impressive shrub.
