Euphorbia grandicornis, commonly known as the Cow's Horn, is a dramatic succulent shrub characterized by its 3- to 4-winged, zigzagging stems and large, paired spines that resemble bull horns. Native to South Africa, it features an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit and produces small yellow flowers in late spring. This low-maintenance plant thrives in well-draining sandy soil and full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant, making it ideal for xeriscaping or as a bold architectural plant.
