Euphorbia mellifera (canary spurge,[2] honey spurge[3]) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae, native to Madeira and the Canary islands.[4][5] It is an evergreen shrub growing to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) or more, with narrow leaves up to 20 cm (8 in) long. In spring it produces brown, honey-scented flowers.[6]
The Latin specific epithet mellifera means "producing honey".[7]
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[8][9] Euphorbia × pasteurii is listed[10] as a hybrid between E. mellifera and E. stygiana. The cultivars ‘Phrampton Phatty',[11] ‘Roundway Titan’[12] and ‘John Phillips’[13] have received the RHS AGM.
Like all euphorbias, this plant contains a milky-white sap, which oozes out of the stems when cut. This can be a skin irritant and is very harmful to the eyes. Gloves should be worn when pruning,
