So if you're in the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario or in southern B.C., it should be fine for you. Susan cautions that as with any euphorbia, the trick in overwintering it (and she's been successful in Michigan which gets just as cold as we do), is to give it good drainage. It hates wet feet, especially during spring runoffs. I'm certainly going to give it a try! Cheers, Lorraine Hi Kathy,
