Spurge

Euphorbia Redwing2000005952

• Position: full sun
• Soil: light, well-drained garden soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: March to May
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Fleshy, glaucous, lance-shaped leaves form a tight mound of foliage with flower spikes in spring that turn a deep red just before they open. When they do the flower clusters are bright gold and so floriferous that the foliage is practically hidden. An excellent, shrubby perennial for a Mediterranean-style garden or sunny herbaceous border. In areas prone to frost it is best planted at the base of a sunny wall.
  

• Garden care: To promote new shoots remove flowerheads in spring after they have flowered. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant.
