About this plant
A handsome and garden-worthy plant that has a long season of interest. It generally has red stems and lime green flowers with small but noticeable reddish brown nectaries at their centre. The floral heads remain a feature even after they have finished, developing ruddy brown shades. The species stands around 80 centimetres high. A large number of cultivars have been developed including forms with variegated foliage such as the striking 'Ascot Rainbow' and forms of modest height such as 'Tiny Tim'. It is unsuited to cold and exposed positions but is happy in most garden situations. This originated in the south of France as a natural hybrid between Euphorbia characias and Euphorbia amygdaloides.
