Thank you Marilyn I have heard that they are nice plants.  I need to make a
choice, I have no room for both. 

Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon' - Is a very nice plant too.  with dark smoky
foliage and leafy flowering bracts. It grows about 12 " tall for me and forms
a small upright clump. It is hardy in zones 4-9. And likes a moist well
drained soil in light shade.

Euphorbia griffithii - Is a spreading plant that grows 24-36" tall and is
hardy in zones 4-9 too.  It should be planted in the same type of location as
the above species.
'Dixter'  -  Should have copper tinted very dark green foliage with orange/red
involucres.
'Fireglow' -- has red/orange involicres and grows 30" tall and three feet
wide.

Euphorbia characias 'Wulfenii'  - I cannot grow this plant, It is hardy to
zones 7-10.
It looks very atractive. With large round light yellow-green globes of
"flower." 
My information says that it is evergreen with biannual shoots. So old
flowering shoots should we cut off at the end of the season. Plants grow 4 ft
tall and about the same in width. Plants are native to the Mediterrian region
and thus should be drought tolerant.
