Euphorbia 'chameleon'
Trial: Perennial
Years Trialed: 2004, 2005
Good Qualities:
Year 1
Great color (2); Great fragrance.Year 2
Problems:
Year 1
Seems to be struggling a bit but I hope for better things; Dead during summer; Maybe too dry of soil.
Year 2
No harvestable stems; Lost plants did not survive winter (zone 7); I just didn't get enough growth off this plant to cut it. I think that we may be on the edge of desirable climate for this plant.
