Euphorbia plant named ‘WALEULITR’

Abstract

A new cultivar of Euphorbia named ‘WALEULITR’ that is distinguished by compact rounded habit. After the first season of growth, plants of ‘WALEULITR’ are 15 cm. in height and 20 cm. in diameter. After three years of growth in a larger container or in-ground, plants of ‘WALEULITR’ are 35 cm. in height and 50 cm. in diameter. ‘WALEULITR’ exhibits small lime-green cyathia in spring and summer. Each cyathium opens to display shallow cup-shaped lime-green petal-like bracts from whose center a solitary female flower emerges, then bends away and is replaced by four or five male flowers. The female flower is surrounded by lime- green or pink-red horned glands which present as a pink-red eye. ‘WALEULITR’ is hardy to USDA Zone 6, is drought-tolerant and is suitable for use in containers, rock gardens, and as a groundcover in the landscape.
