It is similar to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEuphorbia croizatii\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but can grow multiple times larger, up to six meters tall, with large purple-red and yellow mottled cyathia. Having only been recently described, it's quite rare in cultivation, and primarily found in a few European collections. I believe we are the first to grow this species from seed in the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with most Madagascan species, \u003cem\u003eEuphorbia gigantea\u003c\/em\u003e is best grown in a bit of shade, but can handle heat well.
