Euphorbia characias 'Tasmanian Tiger' PP15,715 (Variegated Spurge) - This succulent perennial subshrub has narrow foliage with distinct variegation of green centers with white/cream margins. Growing to 3 feet tall and then topped with broad heads of flowers in summer, that are of the typical chartreuse color but with the bracts also plainly margined with white. A stunning sight especially when combined with bold dark foliage plants like Phormium 'Dark Delight'. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate regularly to occasionally. Hardy to 0-10 degrees F. This plant was a seedling discovered in Sally Johannsohn's garden in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1993. It is sometimes called Euphobia 'Tassie Tiger'.
