Re: Euphorbia wulfenii

Duncan,

Out of curiosity, where did the instructions for sowing the hardy perennial
types come from?  Seems they are quite different than the ones I followed
when I grew E. characias from seed - much simpler.  Have you followed them
and, if so, does it work?  

I realize they can be divided - never tried it as I have either bought
plants, grown them from seed or moved self-sown seedlings.   What's the
best time to divide?  I find that E. characias seems to resent root
disturbance fairly fiercely - can they, too, be divided?
