Description
Euphorbia seguieriana
Height x Spread: 55cm x 50cm
E. seguieriana shines for its combination of feathery grey-green needle foliage and clusters of vivid lime-green bracts, that appeared on dark ginger stems from midsummer to early autumn.
Perfect for filling the colour gap left in gardens when the zing of the spring and early summer flowering Euphorbia faded, it has proven very popular with customers. Hardy and clump-forming, its habit is more open and informal. Show it off by combining with dark ornamental grasses or autumn flowering perennials such as Symphyotrichum turbinellum. It performs best in a free draining soil in full sun.
Harmful if eaten, the sap is an irritant to skin and eyes.
