Plant Features

Red Velvet Euphorbia Plants produce long strappy red foliage that adds interest to landscapes and containers. The coloring becomes more intense towards fall. The small yellow blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Red Velvet offers good heat and disease resistance; however, it doesn't like to dry out like most other succulents. We guarantee our plants to arrive alive and thriving.
