Euphorbia bracteata — Tall Slipper Plant for Upright Succulent Interest

Euphorbia bracteata, also commonly sold under the older name Pedilanthus bracteatus, is known as Tall Slipper Plant. This upright succulent shrub brings a distinctive look to warm-climate landscapes with thick green stems, leafy growth, and unusual red to orange slipper-shaped blooms.

Tall Slipper Plant is a strong choice for customers looking for an architectural, low-water plant wit tropical-desert character. Its vertical habit can add height and structure to sunny beds, large containers, and waterwise garden designs.
