Description
Euphorbia epithymoides
Height x Spread: 45cm x 60cm
A true small clump forming Spurge which is deciduous through the winter months. It reappears in late spring with the inflorescences appearing before the foliage in a bright lime green.
These plants will grow in either full sun or partial shade, they will even tolerate dry shade which makes them useful for planting under trees or shrubs. The autumn foliage colours are also great.
Harmful if eaten, the sap is an irritant to skin and eyes.
