Euphorbia Blackbird is an exceptionally drought tolerant plant that works well in rock gardens and other gardens that provide well-drained soil and sun to part shade. When planting in dense or compacted soils, make sure to add some sand or other soil amendment to loosen the soil.

I cut back Blackbird Euphorbia after the blooms have faded, removing only old growth. Be careful to avoid getting the sap from this plant on your skin. Some people have a serious allergic reaction to it.

I never fertilize euphorbia. If you do, use a mild organic fertilizer after bloom.

Consistently wet or moist soil can be a problem with euphorbia. Plant in very well-drained soil for best performance.
