About this plant
A dwarf Euphorbia with red stems and slender leaves. The flowering heads are coloured a vivid lime green with very noticeable red circles. These are the nectaries (nectar producing glands). When in flower during May the whole head of the plant appears as an array of circles within circles, curious and appealing. This is not for the coldest sites and likes normal, well-drained soil in a sunny position. It is likely to be around 40 cm in height with a similar spread.

Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
