Description
Euphorbia palustris 'Walenburg's Glorie'
Height x Spread: 100cm x 60cm
This select form of E. palustris, with bright lime green bracts over narrow dagger-like fresh green foliage with a pronounced central rib, is much sought after for its fantastic autumnal colour, its stems turning pinky-red.
This is a plant that just keeps delivering impact and colour over the seasons. Fabulous mixed with jewel colours such as oranges, purples, blues and reds, or go for extra drama with black. Although it prefers full sun, it can tolerate part shade too, making it invaluable for a slightly shady spot in the garden. Any good soil with some moisture, even heavier ones will suit it.
Harmful if eaten, the sap is an irritant to skin and eyes.
