Kay and Clyde and whoever else is interested: I've grown Euphorbia
'Chameleon for 3 or 4 years here in Zone 4 and it survives the winter just
fine. It does self-seed too. Mine are growing in soil that would not be
described as having "sharp drainage." They are in full sun. Also, it does
not seem to be reliant on much moisture. I do love the purple foliage. The
young seedlings seem to retain the purple foliage through the summer better
than the "old" plant.
