Euphorbia francoisii Is the New Black - Bold Shapes, Brilliant Colors!
I’ve been asked for a while when I’ll list more Euphorbia francoisii. I’m happy to announce a sale of many nice francoisii this Thursday!
For those who don’t know, Euphorbia francoisii makes a wonderful houseplant. They’d rather live on a comfy, sunny windowsill than in a greenhouse. I can attest to this—I moved most of our francoisii to the greenhouse and while they are doing well they’re not quite as happy. This is your chance to adopt them and give them a loving home!
Included in the sale: choice older plants I’ve been saving, stunning seedlings with 100% maple leaves, unusual variations on the maple-leaf trait, plants with giant leaves, plants with intensely red leaves. Also included are hybrids I made between Euphorbia francoisii and Euphorbia cap-saintemariensis. E. cap-saintemariensis is known for its long, narrow leaves with wavy edges and its unique caudex with elongated stems. The leaves on these hybrids show characteristics from both parent plants, with an intermediate shape. Some of them have purplish tones I have never seen in pure francoisii. They’re all beautiful.

I’ve also just listed Ferraria crispa bulbs. Ferraria crispa is native to South Africa’s Western and Northern Cape provinces and thrives in Mediterranean-type climates with wet winters and dry summers. These grow from bulbs and do well outdoors in regions like California. They start growing in fall, bloom in early spring, and go dormant in summer.
Important note: Ferraria crispa will not succeed as indoor houseplants. They thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates that don’t have prolonged frost (light Bay Area–type frost is fine). Plant them in the ground or in large pots. Full sun. Exposed to the winter rains. They’ll grow all winter, flower in the late winter–spring transition, die back in summer, and return in fall. The bulbs I’m offering are from one of my spectacular clones—the flower is pictured below.
They’re available in our website’s Other Plants section.
I’m happy to combine multiple orders as long as everything fits in one box. Our checkout can’t calculate combined shipping, so you may see duplicate shipping charges—no worries, I’ll refund any excess postage after I pack your order.
📢 Mark your calendars!
Our next sale of Euphorbia francoisii begins Thursday, September 25 at 7 PM PDT. Don’t miss your chance to add these rare and unusual plants to your collection!
