RE: Euphorbia

Kitt,  When the early blooming Euphorbias are finished, you can prune those
stems to the ground.  The new stems that grow this year will be the ones to
bloom next spring.  Wulfenii flowers last such a long time, I seldom prune
mine back until late June or early July.  Also, if you leave them awhile,
they will self sow and you will have nice babies to share with your friends.
Some, like robbiae and Red Martin are just fine if left unpruned.

Many of my euphorbia are beginning their Spring show of gorgeous
huge bloom "heads".
Forgive my poor spelling, but some of the Euphorbs growing here are Jade
Dragon,
Robbiae, Myrsinitis, Red Martinii, Rubra (Thank you Marge), Golden Canyon,
and Wulfenii.
Would other Euphorbia lovers be kind enough to tell me if you prune your
plants
after they bloom, and if so, how?  I'm not sure whether it's best to cut a
few of the
older stems back to the ground, or cut just behind all the spent flower
heads, or
just leave the plants alone.

Thanks in advance!
