I run a small part time nursery specialising in garden Euphorbias. The nursery is listed in The Plant Finder (entry NWit). I produce small quantities of Euphorbia plants in a wide range of varieties (usually around 50+ in any one year including many rarities). My aim is to make more of these wonderful plants available to the gardener.

Euphorbia seed can be purchased by mail order. These can be obtained by written request enclosing the correct remittance and a large stamped addressed envelope (large envelope stamp please). Seed is sold in packets with a minimum of 1 dozen seeds. Cultivar seed may be variable and not grow true to type. However they will still make good garden plants.
