Corn Cob Euphorbia (Euphorbia mammillaris): A Columnar Curiosity

Euphorbia mammillaris, known as Corn Cob Euphorbia or Corkscrew, is a unique columnar succulent with prominent, tuberculate ribs that resemble an ear of corn. Its green stems are often decorated with small, transient leaves at the growing tips. This South African native forms clustering clumps over time and is a striking architectural plant for containers and frost-free gardens.
