Description
The Euphorbia nicaeensis, also known as the Nice Spurge, is a wild species that grows spontaneously in the south and east of Europe, often in rocky terrain where it basks in the sun. It has evergreen foliage with a bluish-green color that remains attractive all year round and offers a radiant flowering, in small lemon-yellow umbels. Very hardy in well-drained soil, this spurge is an excellent rock garden and dry garden plant.
The Euphorbia nicaeensis belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. It is a species present from southern Europe to central Asia (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Caucasus). It is a perennial plant with a thick stump. It forms numerous upright or spreading stems, yellowish-green or reddish-green, which become bare towards the base. When mature, it will measure approximately 50 cm (20in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in width. Its leaves are lanceolate, narrow, measuring up to 7.5 cm (3in) long. They are numerous, leathery, bluish-green, grouped in bouquets mainly towards the top of the stems over time. The flowering, very bright, takes place from May to July depending on the climate. The flowers are grouped in small terminal umbels, at the tips of the stems. They are very small, without petals, but surrounded by large decorative lemon-yellow bracts. The stems and leaves contain a milky juice that is sticky, toxic if ingested, and irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.
The Nice Spurge will find its place in a sunny and dry rock garden, on a wild slope, or even in a gravel bed where it can self-seed. It can be associated with other ground covers such as small sedums, chickweeds, alyssums, aubrietas, or dwarf artemisias. It will create beautiful spots of light at the base of shrubs, perennials, or dark-foliaged grasses. Plant it, for example, at the base of a Black Lace elderberry with purple sage, Purple Majesty Pennisetum, or with tall sedums like 'Black Jack' or 'Chocolate'. Its flowering combines well with the blue of Blue Cascade trailing rosemary and perennial flax.

Planting and care
Plant Euphorbia nicaeensis in light, poor, dry to slightly moist, but especially well-drained soil. A limestone, neutral or slightly acidic soil is suitable. Excess moisture in winter can greatly reduce the hardiness of this plant. A soil rich in gravel and stones yields good results. This Euphorbia requires a very sunny exposure. It is advisable to cut back the floral stems as they wither, waiting for the inflorescences to completely fade to avoid excessive latex flow. It is essential to protect your hands from the latex, as it causes skin inflammation. Pruning is necessary to prevent the plant from becoming unsightly, or if one wishes to prevent seed formation.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
