Spurge Euphorbia Shorty

My Spurge ( pic attached) looks healthy and growing well.My question is,should it have flowered by now or is it a later flowerer? Maybe a young plant?
Sorry keeps saying upload file is too large to process.I can't attach pic.It worked earlier with my Lilly pic.Any help in this appreciated.Thanks.

 

Hi

do you know the variety , if we cant see the photo , help answer your question

 

Couple of things to try ... drag and drop the picture into the reply box (then it will appear as a mini pic under the reply box so you click either "thumbnail" of "full size").
Or, resize your picture (I *think* it needs to be 800 pixels )

Hope that helps Michael

 

Thanks for the replies.Sorry I do not know the variety.
Cropped the pic,with help,so hope you can view the pic ok.

 

looks fine to me just not ready to flower yet it should do next spring (still a young plant)

it could be
Euphorbia wallichii but quite a few greEn varieties I grow one called martini

 

Thanks Spruce,should I cut it back,if so when would you suggest?

 

no dont cut its those shoots that you have now that will produce the flowers next spring so leave alone ..... they are a trouble free plant , well I find they are.

plus if you look at the label in the pot the variety is "shorty" look at the photo I have made bigger you can see the name

This naturally dwarf and compact variety grows to just 30cm. Mounding habit with appled green bracts and gorgeous red centres. An adorable and very long flowering variety perfect for both containers and the front of garden borders

@Michael04

 

Thankyou very much.Sorry another quick question,any aroma when it flowers?
I was not sure about cutting back as I saw Monty Don on Gardeners World last weekend cutting his back.But,as you have pointed out mine is a different variety and I shall leave it in the pot.

 

Monty was cutting the old flowering stems off to tidy up the plant he does get new gardeners confused as my stupid brother cut all his mature rhododendrons down after he was going on about them causing problems in the wild !! my bro didnt understand he meant one variety (ponticum) his misus went mad on him and then I explained in detail and then the penny dropped what he had done !!

no smell that I know off to be honest the flies like the flowers more than the bees .

mine in a huge pot and does great

Thanks Spruce....Any chance of a pic of yours please?
Sorry if I get a bit boring with all my questions,there will be more to follow but,I'm trying to grow plants I have not tried before

 

Hi As promised

the stems that have flowered will be cut off close to the base later today or Sunday.


Easy from cuttings as well, but a bit of crushed charcoal is handy.

 

Looks fabulous.I can't wait for mine to flower next year.Thanks for the info

 

Spruce,my spurge does not look too healthy ,to me,colour fading.Your opinion please?
Thanks.

 

looks fine to me its just the old leaves starting to fade (its what they do)
I only water mine in the pot once a week , get a full watering can.

I have only just realised you are only up the coast from me
