Description: Euphorbia ‘Tiny Tim’ is a compact, evergreen sub-shrub forming a tidy dome of narrow, grey-green foliage often tinged burgundy on new growth. It produces a show of lime-green bracts with distinctive red eyes atop burgundy stems from spring into summer, providing long-lasting visual interest. Extremely drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in freely draining soil and prefers a position in full sun or part shade. This variety copes well with Melbourne's coastal conditions, heat, frost, and cool winters. Euphorbia ‘Tiny Tim’ is highly suited to low-maintenance landscapes, rockeries, and containers. Minimal pruning is needed beyond removing spent flower stems to encourage shape and density. Caution: all parts of the plant contain a milky sap that may irritate skin and eyes.
