Description
Height x Spread: 30cm x 45cm
This Euphorbia's lime green flower bracts appear in spring, over purple-red feathery foliage. The purple tint to the foliage does tend to fade as the season progresses but the autumnal colouring is wonderful.
It prefers full sun although it will tolerate part shade. This is a really colourful ground covering plant that is useful in poorer soils.
Please note the sap is harmful.
