It is not hardy in my garden, so I grow it as an annual. It contrasts with Euphorbia 'Blue Haze' on the right, a hybrid cross of Euphorbia nicaeensis and Euphorbia sigueriana niciciana. The coloring is definitely from the E. nicaeensis. David, the other CA, USDA z9b, WG z17   Gardenbug  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:29 am:    Hmmmmmmm. I like Blue Haze. My book says "relaxed habit", whatever that means. I'm putting a check mark next to this one, but where will I find room for everything I like?

It is nice and erect in spring when the new growth comes in, but by fall the tall stalks start leaning outward, and by spring are parted by the new growth. We don't have summer/fall rain, so rain may exacerbate the 'laxness' of the plant. But it's a beauty. Here's another shot of the whole plant taken in August. The sun bleaches out the nice blue/grey coloring. The blooms are vivid yellow. I'll try to find a picture.

I think Euphorbia 'Blue Haze' is what we have in a container in the garden. I just bought 3 little ones myself but I would like to see a mature plant to compare.
