Why is Crown
of Thorns (Euphorbia) ‘White Lightning’ so rare?
‘White Lightning’ is an exceptionally
good plant. Highly variegated green and
white, with red flowers, it likes sun and tolerates being dry.
It’s the perfect houseplant for a
south or west window, which seems too bright for shady foliage houseplants.
But why so rare and expensive?
A Florida succulent/ cactus
wholesale grower has a lock on the tissue culture supply. It grows slowly, taking months to get to a
nice 4” pot size.
Like many rare plants, it takes
someone to champion the plant.
I’ve been watching Crown of Thorns
for 50 years and know ‘White Lightning’ is worth the effort.
We sell them through our 100 Independent
Garden Centers and internet sellers.
Find them here: http://www.garysspecialtyplants.com/locations.html
Call your Garden Center to see if
they have any in stock. Ask them to get one
for you. They live for years and are a
decorative houseplant. It can be grown outside
in summer, if you like.
