Plant description
A stunning, late-flowering semi-evergreen euphorbia with open sprays of intense, lime green flowers held on red-bronze stems in late summer to early autumn. The foliage is handsome, too, with strappy, grey-green leaves held in whorls on the upright stems.
This magnificent perennial forms a natural mound, bringing all-year structure to the garden. In the fading autumn light, Euphorbia seguieriana subsp. niciciana glows and looks fabulous among late-flowering perennials and grasses, or with spiky plants.

How to care for Euphorbia seguieriana subsp. niciciana:
Plant in full sun in moderately fertile, well-drained soil, watering regularly while plants establish. This hardy perennial dies back in winter and re-emerges in spring, and is drought tolerant once established. Cut back the old flowering stems after flowering or in late autumn to keep the plant tidy and encourage fresh growth.
Avoid overly rich or poorly drained soils, particularly in winter, and wear gloves when pruning as the milky sap can irritate skin.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
Warning
Humans/Pets: IRRITANT to skin/eye; harmful if eaten
