- Botanical Name: Euphorbia milii
- Common Names: Crown of Thorn, Christ plant, Christ's thorn
- Description: Crown of Thorns is a deciduous, herbaceous, perennial shrub with bright green leaves and greenish flowers. The flowers are enclosed within long-lasting and bright bracts of red or yellow. The plant is loose in form, spiny and irregularly shaped, with thick, black spines and its historic presence in the Middle East led to the belief by some that the stems of this plant had been used in Christ's crown of thorns, hence the common name. In its country of origin (Madagascar) the plant will grow to 5 or 6 feet tall; however, in the United States, it typically grows to 3 feet, or 2 feet when grown as a houseplant.
Every plant ships as a young, well-rooted starter grown by our US nursery partners. Size and shape vary naturally, and photos show a mature example of the variety.
On arrival: unbox right away, rest the plant out of direct sun for a day or two, then water lightly. A few wilted or yellowed leaves after transit are normal.
Planting: pot up in a well-draining mix, or plant outdoors once frost risk has passed in your USDA zone. Each listing states zone, light and watering.
Safety: many ornamental plants are toxic if eaten. Keep them away from young children and pets unless the listing says the plant is edible.
Shipping
We ship to the 48 contiguous US states only - not Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, PO Boxes or internationally.
Orders ship from our US grower partners within 1 to 3 business days, with tracking by email within 48 hours, and most arrive 2 to 6 business days later.
Shipping is free on orders of $49 or more. Under $49 it is a flat $9.95.
Cold weather: from 1 November to 30 April every order ships with winter protection at our cost - a heat pack, plus an insulated liner or a faster service when the route needs one. If a hard freeze is forecast we may hold the order until it is safe to send.
