I've lost Euphorbia dulcus "Chameleon" as well. However my loss can be
attributed to mistakenly planting it in full sun and dry soil ike its relative
E. "Wulfenii". It lived about a year, then turned up its toes. Surprise! the
following spring, I found several volunteers springing up in the area. After
potting them up and growing on a bit, I was able to add them to a shadier spot
under an abutilon. It's the second year and they are doing well.
Conclusions: E. dulcus "Chameleon" is more of a shade plant in my hot inland
garden.
They come true from seed.
And volunteer as well as E. "Wulfenii"
