Euphorbia gottlebei seeds
Discover the exceptional Euphorbia gottlebei seeds, a rare and endangered succulent native to the Fiherenana valley in southwestern Madagascar2614. This spiny, shrubby plant grows up to 1.5 meters tall and features a long taproot, densely spiny stems, and narrow, slender leaves that shed seasonally during the dry season614. Its vibrant inflorescences produce 4–16 small carmine flowers with petal-like bracts in shades of orange-red, dark red, yellow, or pink, adding a splash of color to its rugged appearance614. Thriving on steep limestone slopes in subarid deciduous thorny thickets, this species is highly drought-tolerant and ideal for xeriscaping or container gardening611.
