Euphorbia superans

One of the best, and the biggest, Medusa Head type. Looks great when flowering in brilliant yellow and the old branches dehisc nicely leaving a fab pineconiform central stem. Outdoors OK in a good position in a mild area. Indoors, it needs to be in the brightest light imaginable.

2.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK, easy to grow.

Massed flowering is spectacular and typical.

Growing strategy is get 'em large first, then keep 'em potbound, in order to shed the long branches and expose the wonderful pineconeiform stem.

Massive single heads in 40cm diam pots.

Flower is larger than E.woodii and slightly different.

Flowers are pollinated by flies.

Seedpods are interestingly 'blotched'.

A magnificent large specimen, far larger than E.woodii (closely related) will become.
