I planted this from seed while living in zone 5, Indiana and it grew 5-6 ft tall the first year and bushy and had to be staked. I moved from there in Sept that year and my sister pulled up a piece and just stuck it in the ground in Tennessee zone 7. It reseeded itself for her and the next year she had it everywhere. I was back in Indiana this past week, 2yrs later and the plant has also reseeded and survived Cold, windy, icy winters!! I love it and hope it stays forever.

I was at a Farmer's Market this week (in Chicago) and there was some cut snow on the mountain euphorbia that they were selling in bunches. I mentioned that this was one euphorbia variety that I had been searching for in my garden. She told me that it is an annual. I am in Zone 5 and I have seen it in a neighborhood yard year after year and I can't imagine this lady plants it every year. I would love to know where to buy one.
