From as early as April this trio of euphorbia blooms, successionally, through to October, creating fabulously contrasting colours to light up containers, rockeries and borders. Even when the zesty yellow and green flowers have faded, the foliage is a stand-alone beauty which amplifies in colour as it matures. All three plants in your ‘Euphoric Euphorbia Collection’ have been chosen for their red, purple and black elongated leaves held on strong dark stems.
‘Euphoric Euphorbia Collection’ comprises amygdaloides 'Miners Merlot' with a height and spread of 60cm and flowers August to October; amygdaloides 'Purpurea' also with a height and spread of 60cm and flowers April to July; and amygdaloides 'Ruby Glow' with a height of 60cm and a spread of 45cm and flowers March to July. Dramatic foliage offers weed suppressing groundcover and flowers are exceptionally pollinator friendly.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial to full shade with any aspect other than north facing. A mix of evergreen and semi-evergreen perennials which are hardy (H5 and H6) enough to cope with winter throughout most of the UK without additional protection.
