Description
Euphorbia coerulescens, commonly known as Blue Euphorbia, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. It's characterized by its columnar or candelabra-like growth habit, with stems that are typically blue-green in color, often with a powdery coating. The stems have prominent ribs and spines, creating a distinctive appearance. The plant produces small, yellow flowers. It is a drought-tolerant species.
