Neat and clump forming, Euphorbia polychroma 'Bonfire' is aptly named as each narrow, blue-green leaf is flushed with flame-like purple shades, flushing to bright red in an autumnal show. Foliage is held from March to November and bract-like flowers are held in clusters from May to July, with the unusual flowerheads rising on strong stems from amongst the foliage. Flowers are much loved by bees and butterflies who will visit to partake in the nectar, while unwanted visitors, such as deer and rabbits, tend to leave alone. Both flowers and foliage make a long-lasting and colourful addition to flower arrangements when cut - though do wear gloves to avoid coming into contact with the sap.Euphorbia polychroma 'Bonfire' is drought tolerant once mature and prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Suitable for any soil apart from heavy clay, plants reach a mature height and spread of 50cm. A hardy, herbaceous perennial which should not need additional winter protection throughout most of the UK.
