Euphorbia amygdaloides Purpurea is a compact, low-growing Euphorbia. Perfect for filling a spot near the front of a shady border or edging a pathway with its textural glaucous leaves and lime green flower spikes. The unusual flower heads rise and unfurl from a mound of dense, dark purple foliage in late spring and early summer, combining well with Alliums, Aquilegia, and late spring tulips. Euphorbia amygdaloides Purpurea will achieve a height and spread of 60cm. A hardy, evergreen shrub which naturalises readily in the right conditions. Pull out or pot up any unwanted seedlings as you see them appear. Grows well in dappled shade on any soil type and suits both traditional cottage gardens or more contemporary designs. Take care when pruning back stems and always wear gloves as the milky sap which oozes from cut stems can cause an allergic reaction for a few gardeners.
