Pottsey --
I bought two Euphorbia this year. One is Euphorbia cyparissias 'Orange
Man' and the other is called Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon'. The cyparissias
one is described as 'a rambunctious spreader.' I bought it to fill in an
area on the side of our house which is right on the main road and used to
be filled with ugly weeds. I am hoping that it would take over.
I've tried to find your 'creeping chameleon' in all the books I have, and
can't find anything.
The only chameleon I ever heard of was the Euphorbia I got this year. Now
I'm really confused! Is your plant a Euphorbia? What does it look like?
The Euphorbia cyparissias is described as 'needle-like glaucous foliage
with bright yellow flowers that turn vivid orange in early spring.'
Flowers were yellow, but I think the bright organge comes in the fall.
