Euphorbia lactea cristata
Also known as Crested Coral or Crested Candelabra
“A living sculpture with graceful waves and rippled form.”
A striking, fan-shaped mutation of Euphorbia lactea, this crested variety is prized for its unusual, coral-like shape. The attractive, wavy branches display rippled edges marked with lighter green patterns, creating a dramatic display that looks sculpted by nature itself. Highly sought after among collectors of rare and unique succulents, it makes a fascinating centerpiece for containers or indoor collections.
