Description
Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
Height x Spread: 60cm x 60cm
Known as the Wood Spurge this is one of the most commonly grown evergreen Euphorbias. The lime green inflorescence shows up well in the late spring against the dark green leaves.
They make good clumps quite quickly and can be divided but with care - use gloves as the sap can cause skin irritation. It is a very easy plant to grow in most soil types and is very tolerant of shade.
Please note that the sap is harmful.
